Ooohhhh, so looking forward to trying black beans for dying. I'm curious, some other videos say if you don't just press the water from the top of the soaked black beans, you end up with a thick sludge in your dye but I don't see that in your case and you strained all the bean water. Have you had any sludge issues? Also how color fast is the black bean dye with a mordant fabric? Have you tried soaking the beans for several days to see how the dye may be stronger? Thank you : )

Interesting, definitely going to try this! When you're changing the pH and thus the color of the cloth, will it change again in the wash ? Do you you have to "fix" the final color in some way? Thanks!

Hi there! I mordanted this silk with aluminum sulfate before dyeing it, but no need to add any fixative after dyeing. That is important especially because food dyes are more likely to fade in the wash and sun. The color will change overtime as anthocyanins (the dye that creates the colors) is more fugitive than others. You might find it shifting to an earthier grey or brown color over the course of a few years.

what does it look like washed though

@kristinarzt Жыл бұрын

It oxidizes and turns an earthier color, eventually maybe over a few years, it will shift to a purple/brown. Food dyes are not the most light and wash fast materials in the natural dye world.

What water did u use to soak the clamped shibori?

@bagladysendtheferalspinner3761 3 ай бұрын

Does it work the same way with wool? Is the dye colourfast?

Did you need to use a fixative on the cloth before hand?

Yes, I mordanted this silk with aluminum sulfate. That is important especially because food dyes are more likely to fade in the wash and sun.

How fugitive is the colour. What can you use to fix the colour permanently?

I had purple potatoes for Lunch. The water was purple. Have you ever tried dyeing with them?

I haven't. Try it and let me know how it goes!

How do you fix the color so that day to day ware does not cause a color change?

@kristinarzt 8 ай бұрын

Hi Sonja, I pre-mordant the fabric before dyeing so that the pigment will chemically bond to the fiber in the dyeing process. Here is a guide on my website on the process: kristinarzt.com/blogs/guides/how-to-mordant-cellulose-fibers

But does it keep its colors after washing?

Why is the black bean water mixed with red onions skins in water? Has that onion been boiled?

@kristinarzt 10 ай бұрын

Good question! That is just another example of using food byproducts for natural dyeing. You will simmer the onions skins before you dye with them. You can check out my most recent video on dyeing with red onion skins.

I really want to do this but I have 2 quetsions. Does it stain the other clothes in the washing machine when washing together? And how long lasting is the dye?

@melaniebedoya6042 3 ай бұрын

You would want to wash it on its own for the first wash. In case any color were to bleed out. After that you should be good to go. As for fading, any dyed fabric will naturally fade over time. This method would fade not unlike other dyed fabrics you may already have.
