We have discussed in the past dyeing hose using tea. I am now in the position to do so, having just acquired a pair of white hose.

So my questions are to do with procedure.

How much tea for a pair of hose?

Water temperature? Boiled up - boiled then left to cool - cold water?

Mordant? Some have said that none is required, but doesn't that mean that every wash will remove more of the dye? Or should the dyed hose only be washed by hand?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Chas
