cold dyes

The whole reason for the selfsufficientish website was to offer a place where anyone can ask, HOW DO I...? So who knows why it has taken us so long to have a HOW DO I? section, but here it is. So if you want to know how to do anything selfsufficientish then here is the place to ask.

cold dyes

Post: # 178032Post chadspad »

Ive got some cold dyes to use but says I need a fixer with it which I havent got. Can I use something else instead? Seems to think salt would work?

I don't know cp.

It depends on what the dye is - different mordants will give different results and can change the colour dramatically.
