a) Dyeing with Iron alone
Dyeing with iron produces buffs, dull yellows and oranges that are very fast to light and washing. To avoid shortening the life of the fibres too much, dye only cotton or linen and use light shades. Fibre dyed with iron, has already been mordanted and could be over dyed to unusual shades with weld, madder and other natural dyes.
