I chose some cotton items since so far I have only worked with silk and wool, and I know my vegan friends are looking for things they can use too. I also invested in mordants I would need to get the colors I wanted, or at least I hope I get. Since there can be a fair amount of variation working with natural dyes, you never know 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
