Does anyone know of a website where I can buy Alum by mail-order? I want to use it as a mordant for the natural dyeing of a couple of bags I made recently, but have Googled and can't find anything. I've tried the local chemists but no luck...

I searched for "alum mordant" and found this www.pmwoolcraft.co.uk/html/browse.php?CatID=24 Is that what you need?

Aha! Just what I needed! Thanks WhiteWolf and marigold - the P&M woolcraft looks the best bet for the Alum, and the Mulberry Dyer is very interesting - might be tempted to do a course next year! Thanks!
