Ferrous sulphate, also known as iron sulphate, is a versatile material for natural dyers and fibre artists. Essential in the natural dye studio, it can be used to modify colours, shift tones, or create dramatic effects in eco-printing and bundle dyeing.
✨ Common Uses:
As a mordant in natural dyeing
As a colour modifier to darken or shift plant-based dyes
To create rust-like effects in eco-bundling, eco-printing, and contact printing techniques
💡 Tips for Use:
Use sparingly – iron can harden or weaken fibres, particularly protein fibres such as wool and silk
Limit contact time to achieve your desired shade without damaging the material
Store any leftover solution in a sealed glass jar and reuse for future dyeing sessions
A powerful tool for experimentation – ideal for adding depth, tone, and texture to your natural dye palette
📦 Available Sizes:
50g resealable pouch
100g resealable pouch
