It is a little more expensive than Aluminum Sulfate.  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Directions for use are the same for both.

You can cool mordant with alum, by putting the alum and fiber into a bucket and making sure that there is plenty of room and water to move around the fiber and give the water a stir occasionally.  Leave the fiber in for at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally.  To re-use the mordant liquid, instead of throwing it out, you can just add 50% of the alum that you added the first time, for each skein.

It was introduced and widely naturalized in the 18th Century in South America and in West Indies. It was first imported in Europe as a dye matter, shortly after the arrival of the Spanish in Central America. But for many years (from 1581 to 1662), an English law prohibited its use in order to protect the dyes that were already used. Historically it was the basis and indispensable to achieve a true black on cloth, especially mourning clothes.   It is currently found in many tropical countries. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Logwood is not as fast as some other natural dyes, but it gives the most beautiful lavenders.

Black walnuts give tan to dark brown color easily, and blacks when overdyed with indigo. \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e The black walnut tree is a native tree of eastern North America.

Give the dye bath and the fibers to be dyed, plenty of time in the dye bath if you want to achieve the darkest shades.   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e On regular, non-superwash wool, you are likely to only receive a tan color from black walnuts.  The dark brown yarn in the photos is superwash wool yarn.  Superwash wool takes acid or natural dyes more deeply, and so you will get a darker, deeper color if you use superwash wool instead of regular wool.  Black walnut is a substantive dye and does not need a mordant to help it dye fibers, but you will likely get a darker color if you mordant the fiber before dyeing with black walnut.   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e I pick and dry the shells of the black walnuts while they are still green.
