I also thought urine was used in the traditional process
Thank you so much for one of the best processes yet,so natural without the dreaded chemistry 💚🐝
Is it a long lasting color? Does it wash out? Is it sun fading?
Isn't it that if you put more than 5% of weight of dry flowers, u will get more darker orange?
Love this!
Would it be set fast or is heat/steam setting needed
I read somewhere you need to crush the leaves with wooden rollers (to dry them I think?) then make them into balls and then leave them to dry for a month. Then put it in a vat with water and ammonia, which I heard is made by simply heating up pee, I also heard they would just leave it out in the sun back in the day. Because well... You don't want your entire home to smell of pee.
Does this work well with cotton yarn? BTW thank you for making a video and getting straight to the point. xx
Does the fabric end up patchy when you are done or is the color pretty consistent?
It's fairly even actually, it depends how much careful you are with really covering the whole of the fabric and the fabric/dye ratio.
This is the best how to natural dye video I’ve yet seen! Thank you!
Facinating, thankyou.
Thanks for this video. I have lots of cosmos flowers in my garden and I want to try to dye wool with them. They’re mostly light pink, I will let you know which colour it yields!
I love the colour of your love note sweater! So adorable.
