Tara Pod Light Extract is made from the seed pods of tara spinosa, a small leguminous tree native to the Andean regions of South America. Tara is one of the richest botanical sources of hydrolyzable tannins and it has been used for centuries for tanning leather, making ink, and preparing cotton for mordanting and dyeing. Tara Pod Light Extract is a highly concentrated and refined tara extract produced from Peruvian tara pods. It is a rich source of clear, soluble gallic tannins and it makes an excellent base for mordanting cotton and linen with aluminum and then dyeing yellows, purples, crimsons, and other bright, clear shades. Use it at 10% weight-of-fabric to prepare cotton or linen fibers before mordanting with Aluminum Acetate or Aluminum Formate Pro.
