Eucalyptus on wool

Steamed for 4 hours

Bottom piece Uruguayan Merino wool from Megatex

Wool mordanted with alum at 15% of WOF

No blanket and no iron in target.

Middle piece lightweight twill wool/silk blend

Mordanted with alum at 15% of WOF

Iron blanket

Top pieces are: silk, not the best print and another merino wool with iron blanket, iron too wet.

Observations:

Time and high temperature is key. Not less than 4 hours.

Casuarina soaked in iron or soaked in water makes not difference.
