Brilliant Colours with Natural Dyes, by Cheryl Kolander, is the best beginner's manual. It includes all the recipes and assorted information she gives at her workshops, plus a very detailed step-by-step walk through, called "Apprentice for a Day." Indigo is covered, as are paint dyeing basics. Recipes and procedures work for all fibres, and all fibre forms are addressed.
All mordants we supply and use are from naturally occurring minerals that come from the Earth. When the fabric biodegrades the minerals will return to the Earth from whence they came. There are no residuals left on the fabric as the minor amount of fixative is locked into the fibre.
To better understand the crucial role of the mordant in the production of permanent colours with Natural Dyes, please read the tutorial on natural dyework.
