Description
Bark from Norway maple trees (Acer platanoides) and silver maple (Acer saccharinum). Red maple (Acer rubrum) bark gives a pale gray (cotton) to rose-tan (wool) color using an alum mordant. Changing mordants to copper sulfate produces a dark gray while chrome produces and beige color. Silver maple bark gives a tan color with alum and a black with copper. The drab colors from the maple bark dyes have good color fastness.
