Gorgeous! I have a question regarding logwood. What do you pre-mordant your fiber with? I did something stupid and just threw some handspund directly into a pot. Now the color is just washing out. I want to get to exhaust, but it's taking too long. Alum? Would that help? I am going to over dye the skein after I play around with it. It turned out a dreary grey/purple color.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> The silk it’s like icecream! Gorgeous! I have a question regarding logwood. What do you pre-mordant your fiber with?
