What you use for “fixer” (called a mordant, vinegar in this case) is for wool and animal fibres. Cotton and cellulose fibres (Plant fibres) require salt as a mordant.

Baack in 2019, I was making boiling beats. I accidentally wiped beat juice on my black denim jeans. There are no accidents in life; hence this video. I love how epic it looked. I'll probably do it again, but this time do it with some vinegar.

Any kind of vinegar? Apple Cider, salad vinegar? Or white only? Why do you have to boil the shirt for so long- won't it shrink? Thanks!

Hey really interesting videoo!!!! But I have a doubt...when you boil for such a long period of time won't the water evaporate???
@katehenry2718 Жыл бұрын
Those lovely peels would add to the color. Put them in a netting or dish cloth and add them packaged into the dyebath. Eat the beets later. Wash the dyed items separately because some of the dye will run to the other cloth and be more permanent than you want it to be. PRettttttyyyyy pink!!! )))

I did it and the colour that came out was beige. Nothing to do with the bright pink she's showing. The process however is not as simple as that.
@veritorossi4 жыл бұрын
Natural dyes only work on natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool, etc. You have to wash them before you dye them. Also you have to leave the fabric for a long time while it's hot and use mordant such as salt. Also the fabric has to be really soaked with water to get the best results. I guess you used a poly mixed fabric and that's why it didn't take.

1) It's not called a "fixture" it's called a Mordant... 2) vinegar is NOT a mordant, it is a pH adjuster (used to lower the pH= increase the acidity: for materials that are pH sensitive, ie- red cabbage, spinach, etc) and is not needed for most dyes and will actually destroy some color compounds/elements in the dye bath of some materials (e.g.= lemon juice will break down the tannins in tea when using tea for a brown dye and you will get ittle, if any, dye color)...

@user-je7pp2wg3m6 жыл бұрын
Vinegar doesn't fix dye. It is a modifier, not a mordant. Boiling the beets ruins color potential. As soon as you sweat or touch the fabric wrong, this color will be ruined. Sun will also ruin this dye. Everything about this video is wrong. You need to fix the dye properly. This might be fun project, but there are better ways to do this.

@veritorossi4 жыл бұрын
If you wash the cotton fabric before you dye it'll take it better. Also the vinegar isn't a "fix" or mordant, it changes the color of the dye. The mordant you can use is SALT and it will last for a long time. I dyed a futon cover with avocado and salt and I wash it all time and it's color still holds up. I had really good results using cabbage, avocado, beets, onion skins, etc and I always used salt as a mordant.

You may in fact be right about the process, but how about being helpful and offer advice, rather than snide remarks? She never put herself forward as an expert - was just sharing a fun project she tried. SMH at how hateful y’all are. @usttv - Thanks for the inspiration.

Mis-information is rife today and this video is no exception. Sadly, this is so wrong, almost all of it, so many people are going to be disappointed. I wonder why you did this when you obviously know little about it and I'm serious about this. People come to my classes with all the wrong notions about dyeing. They get it from videos like this. At least you said the dye won't last but you needed to make a bigger note of that for viewers. You don't mention the fabric -if this was cotton, it would take little dye as it needs to be washed with soda ash. Cotton is the hardest fabric to dye. You needed to rinse it out to SHOW people how much colour it loses.
