Cochineal on wool yarn
Originally uploaded by Altivo
Set of six additional photos from last week's dyeing experiments. This one shows cochineal on wool yarn, with color variations resulting from use of four different mordants. The mordanting compounds were, from top to bottom: potassium aluminum sulfate (alum), potassium dichromate (chrome), copper sulfate (copper), and stannous chloride (tin).
