Thanks!

Wow how about coffee?

Coffee gives a lighter tan. Think of mixing milk with coffee.

Awesome 🙏😍

Thanks!

also if you want a very pretty brown colour i recommend using red onion skin or dried avocado skin

@@torrii5333 It fades just after the first wash or does it keep fading?

If you put the dyed fabric in salt water...it will stay for longer

I came in here just for this comment. Thank you. 😊

Ty

Yes u r right 😊

Also if they pronounced the r in tuRmeric it would be awesome.

Guess they figured everyone would know what boiled water would look like.

Exactly.. ! This was more about them instead of the natural dye

Not much is going on. Its a veg in water.... boiling.

Chris Hollobaugh Thank you from the expert

Just like the pH of the soil defines the color of hydrangeas!

Dont get it. I want to get magenta color. Thx

Can we use water colour

@@asiajoelle2760 I don't know how to do magenta

@@chinkibarnwal5812 the pigments for water color? I have no idea. It might depend on what they are made from

Brasil: I eat it all

Yes seeing that there’s such a small amount of time and the videos I would rather everything be focused on what they can teach us rather than the cute stuff… I know I’m being a bit picky but when you’re brand new and you’re trying to learn every minute counts… Also two people doing the teaching is distracting and again I would rather hear if you’re using certain vegetable and you want to change the color I want to know Do I use lemon do I use lime I want very specific ABCs and not all over the place. Having complained however this is a very good video.

How did it work?

I store them in the refrigerator for about a week in a glass jar with a lid. After about a few weeks mold started to grow on top. I dye paper and fabric with mine.

yes! just add in clove and thyme as preservative

Adding an anti-bacterial essential oil should keep it from molding.

I love paper dyeing too! I'd recommend waiting for the water to cool because the heat might damage the paper fibres. For most types of paper, soaking it in colour for longer than a minute I find disintegrate the paper fibres. If I need a stronger colour, I'd do a "recharge". Soak in dye - dry the paper - soak again, for several cycles until I am happy with the intensity of colour.

Awesome thank you!

I'd like to know how that works!

Yeah! How did it work?

Ahhhh ur using it for food colouring. Ok. Still cool tho.

No issue with the smell of the yarn, use wool or cotton natural fibres, a mordant helps uptake.

Did it work

@@MangoSmoothie971 Hi Hannah, basically, no. Having watched your video and a couple of others I came across another one done by a professional team testing how well natural dyeing really worked opposed to that sensational quick tips video. A lot of the results ended up okay but smelling like over stewed cabbage and washing out very quickly so I relented, bought some Dylon Intense Black dye and did it in the washing machine as instructed. Result was perfect, the colour is set fast and not stinky in the slightest!

Assuming you want to create coloured candles, it's worth checking if the colour is oil soluble. For example, alkanet root, which is a botanical-based ingredient, makes a ruby-red colour when dissolved in oil but does not dissolve in water. The vegetable dyes in the video are water soluble, making a nice water-based dyes but not all would work for candles.

You can! I make natural inks too. You can add in other ingredients to the vegetable dyes, like binder (gum arabic, shellac etc.), or modifiers to change the base colour, preservatives, to make it into ink for use with brushes or dip pens. If you are using them for fountain pens though, you need to check if the inks will be corrosive, stain your nib etc - so there are many factors to consider.

What I’ve gotten from the comments, is yes you can diy fabric/ clothing/ wool/ cotton with it as long as it’s like natural fibres

Can you tell us another naturally occurring high base to help it turn blue? perhaps one that can be grown or in some other way be found without shopping for it?

​@@chandlerbryant6680 I wouldn't suggest them very much, there are a lot of different kinds of acids, from lemons,vinegard and usually sodas, but there are really few basic ones, baking soda could be the only easy one to use in those cases, egg albumen is also a little basic and also used in some inks, but the quantity could be a bit big and it could go rancid, ammonia and bleach are pretty basic, but also pretty dangerous to use in things/cases they aren't supposed to be used

@@lorenzoemmepi3302 Ammonia. Let's focus on that. So theoretically I could do like the colonials used to do and make chamber lye and use that as a base to turn it blue?

I'm an Italian who lives in Italy, so, I don't have a great culture about what colonials used to do, Ammonia is still something you should need to buy and can be pretty harmful to play with, is also more difficult to dose than a solid like baking soda, which is also pretty harmless I found that chamber lye should be the procedure of putting ashes in a bath to obtain a basic solution? Cause, in that case, I wouldn't recommend it either, the water in that case can become very basic and caustic again, here the grandmas did it to make soap, but they knew the techniques to do it and their hands were bad, I wouldn't suggest to do it or To make a video like everyone could do it alone at home, expecially just for a blue ink, were baking soda could be used Ah, pee contains urea, that can form a mild basic solution

@@lorenzoemmepi3302 thats what im talking about. The colonials used to pee in a pot, let it sit out for a few days, and it would turn into what was known as "chamber lye" which could be used for washing clothes.
