Beautiful Cutch. I used to find brown a little boring but now I find it beautiful. Cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Rich in tannin so no need for a mordant but if you do use a little bit of iron colours turns a rust conker brown and an almost black coloured magic can happen. It's naturally astringent and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine. Traditionally used to dye calico in india, tan hides and to preserve fishing nets and sails. A magic powder.
Do you use cutch? What browns do you get in your dye pot? I'd love to know...
