Lower percentages give soft apricot shades, while higher percentages yield more vivid orange tones in an alkaline dye bath. Soak the powder in water before heating to release the colour gently. Simmer carefully—avoid boiling vigorously—and strain the dye bath if a clearer result is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2001\" data-start=\"1706\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMordanting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1719\" data-start=\"1716\"\u003eFor protein fibres (silk, wool): pre-mordant with alum at approximately 10–15% WOF. Ensure fibres are clean and fully wetted.\u003cbr data-end=\"1847\" data-start=\"1844\"\u003eFor cellulose fibres (cotton, linen): use an appropriate mordant process such as alum combined with tannin to achieve good colour uptake and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2265\" data-start=\"2003\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDyeing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2012\" data-start=\"2009\"\u003eAdd well-wetted, mordanted fibre to the dye bath. Heat gradually and maintain a gentle simmer. Allow the fibre to remain in the bath until the desired shade is reached. Leaving fibres to cool in the dye bath often deepens and softens the final colour. For oranges, add Soda Ash to the dyebath to raise the pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2487\" data-start=\"2267\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2285\" data-start=\"2282\"\u003eAs a natural dye, Wisdom Orange produces subtle variations depending on harvest, fibre type, and water quality.
