How to dye veg tanned leather red?

[gaiusseptimiuslucianus]

Dye it with madder as you would do it with wool. It works well an becomes a deep red colour. You only have to be aware that the water must not boil and the leather should not contact the kettle or it would get stained at these parts.

Stephen,

Do you need to use a mordant?

Thanks,

Lucianus
