Tara powder is obtained from the fruits of the tara bush (Caesalpinia spinosa fructus) from Peru.
It has a high content of tannin (tannic acid), which facilitates mordanting on cellulose fibers (all plant fibers).
The tara powder can also be used as a mordant on wool and silk.
Calculate 10% of the material to be dyed as a mordant.
When mordaning with tara powder, always take into account the slight brown color of the material to be dyed.
Tanin gives a brownish tone when dyeing and mordaning, which in turn prevents a very light yellow coloration.
Instructions for use are enclosed with the order.
Not suitable for consumption.
