[Sca-cooks] Re: vinegar and iron

[Elizabeth A Heckert]

   Please forgive the bandwidth!

   I forwarded Selene's comment about vinegar and iron as a leather dye
to the SCA Natural dyes list.  I think the person who responded thought
it was Selene posting, so I am forwarding her reply here.

Hi Selene.

I also use a little bit of vinegar in the water, with some iron - old
rusty
nails, because my son Guy (remember that little Southron Gaard boy in
Tudor
from way back?) helpfully acquired a large jar of them! - to make iron
water
for saddening dye colours.
