Trying to master the technique of ecoprinting on these cheap "Pashmina" scarves I bought on ebay....labeled 70% wool/30%, but I don't think so. First one I did, I treated like protein, mordanting it in alum. It took dye very weakly, so I redyed it using a soy mordant followed by and iron dip, pre-bundling.
That worked well, so I tried it again, eliminating the first alum mordant, and just going with the soy, followed by the iron.
I am happy with the results...this is a present for a friend who has been admiring the first "mistake".
I got fairly good definition, and I like the subtlety of shades. It feels like wool, and is easy to wear.
