Mordant-induced color changes, dyed wool

Mordant-Induced Color Changes. Mordanting had a profound effect on the shade (x, y) and the depth of shade (Y) of the dyed wool and silk fabrics (Table I). Alizarin, brazilin, and carminic acid all dyed the wool and silk to medium depths of shade.

Burial-Induced Color Changes. Burial of dyed and dyed-mor-danted wool and silk fabrics had a profound effect on the color and depth of shade of the fabrics (Table III). Soil burial caused darking and extremely large changes in shade in most dyed fabrics, whereas the mordanted-dyed fabrics showed less deepening and change in shade than the unmordanted-dyed fabrics.
