That was a great video Angie! It’s definitely one I’m going to refer back to because I don’t do a lot of liquid dye and I love the Milk froth or tool and those silicone cups, perfect for mixing dyes. Thanks again for all of your knowledge and passing it on to all of us. Always be safe and have a great day!
Thank you! I love the silicone cups too - they make pouring the dye so much easier. The milk frother was a suggestion from a viewer, and it's one of my favorite tools for mixing dye. I don't drink coffee and so I wouldn't have thought to use one, but it is perfect for mixing dye.
I'm so grateful to you! Reassuring to see how clean and tidy your process is. I have one of those milk stirrers which never gets used. Until now.. the silicone measuring cups are a great idea. Amazon also thanks you btw!
Thank you! I don't drink coffee, but I love my stirrer for tie dye. I love the silicone cups. I don't have to use a funnel to transfer the dye to bottles when I mix in my silicone cups.
Wow, Angie that was very impressive for working so much very tricky that bet I could just really likely to trying out to, The Procion MX Dyes from Dharma, and How I can turning those out into a replicate closing it recreate the same colors as a primary methods / secondary methods.
I added Urea to the dyes to help keep the fabric from drying out during processing. If you would like to know more about mixing primary colors to make secondary ones, Paula Burch has a website with charts showing how to do that.

@@FunEndeavors Thank you so much, Angie, hey excuse me, I have a good discussion with you now to get this right that thing must thru, okay so listening to me very carefully, But did you know it to mixed the colors by turning them out into a replicate dye powders from Max Dennison in the movie hocus pocus.
Thank you for making my (very virgin) tie dye journey easier. Your excellent to follow. I am how still stuck on what colors to use together 😩…it seems color theory is a college degree
Thank you - I'm glad you liked it! Choosing colors can sometimes be difficult. I have a tie dye blog post about that actually. Here is a link if you'd like to read it: www.funendeavors.com/tie-dye-blog/irtkahfumq0ogg580ec2wltoypioqx I also list all the colors that I used on each shirt in the description of my videos in case you happen to see a color combination that I've used that appeals to you.
Have you made color swatches for your dyes? It really helps to see the actual colors on fabric. After 6 months of being confused I made them and although it was time consuming it was worth it.
@@justagirlsd3000 Yes, I love my color swatches. Mine are liquid dye swatches. I have a blog post for each supplier that I use showing my color swatches. Here is a link to my blog if you'd like to see the swatches: www.funendeavors.com/tie-dye-blog Most of my dyes are Dharma Trading Company dyes, but I have quite a few from Prochemical and Dye, Dyespin, Custom Colours, and a few Grateful Dyes colors.
Thank you! Most colors will last a couple of weeks if they are kept in a cool place. Darker colors like black tend to fade much sooner though. I normally mix black right before I use it to get the darkest black possible.
Angie do you have a video on making thickened dye? Thanks for this video. I don’t like making liquid dye because I don’t use it all within 2 weeks and I waste a lot.
I have a video on how to make thickened chemical water or thickened water. I am working on the video of how I used the thickened water to mix dye and paint dresses. Here is the link to how to thicken water video: ruclips.net/video/is4EC16csxk/видео.html
I did tie dye at home but when i rinse it out all the colours came out in the wayer how can i pretend it from running out using home remedies or what can i buy that i can easily find to stop it from running out and locking the colour in
I use fiber reactive dyes. Is that the type of dye that you used? If so, did you soak your items in a soda ash solution? Fiber reactive dyes will only bond with natural fibers such as cotton too. So, I use 100% cotton shirts and soak them in a soda ash solution before applying the dye. The soda ash solution will raise the pH and cause the dye to bond properly with the fabric. The dye must also be left in the fabric long enough for it to bond properly at a temperature above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. When I rinse my shirts, only the excess dye that didn't bond with the fabric is what is rinsed out. Once the shirts have been rinsed and washed properly, the dye is permanent and won't fade.
I purchase my Urea from the place where I purchase my dye. I am not sure what grade it is. Here is a link to the one I use: www.dharmatrading.com/chemicals/urea.html
You will be fine leaving it out. If you are in a climate that is hot, just make sure to cover your items so that they will not dry out before they've had plenty of time for the dye to bond with the fabric. I know a lot of tie dyers in cooler climates that don't ever use it.
Hi Angie, thanks for sharing your advice. I'm from Córdoba, Argentina. Because of the country's economic situation, it's difficult to get pigments. Do you have experience in aniline dyeing? Thank you very much
Hi Patricia! I don't have any experience at all with aniline dyeing. Paula Burch has a website with a lot of information about all different types of dyeing. She might possibly have some information. Here is a link to her website: www.pburch.net/dyeing.shtml
@@joedog3865 I do. I also order from other dye suppliers that sell fiber reactive dyes as well. Pro Chemical and Dye is in Massachusetts, Custom Colours is in North Carolina, Grateful Dyes is in Colorado, and Dyespin is in Missouri. They all sell the same kind of dye that Dharma does, and they all have beautiful dye colors. Shipping costs can differ though depending on where you live.
@@joedog3865 dharma honestly isn’t too bad considering the quality and how far they go! Start out with the primary colors in 8oz then choose some others to try out in 2oz as you go…it’s SOOO worth it!

Great tutorial Angie. And thanks for adding a few more things to my Amazon order!!!
Awesome - I think you'll really like the silicone cups.

Thanks Angie. Looks simple enough. I seem to get dye everywhere!
Thank you! 🙂
I was hoping the frother would work! I went and bought one just to try it but heaven yet…silicon cups are looking like my next addition 😊
Anyone got any idea on what size those are?
The silicone cups are great for mixing dye. Since they are flexible, I don't even need to use a funnel to pour the dye into the bottles.
I have 8 ounce and 16 ounce cups. amzn.to/3XrcGCU
I also have these that are 10 ounces. amzn.to/47mSlmN
@@FunEndeavors you’re a godsend! Can you tell me what size the cups are or do you have a store where I can find them?
@@EmilyMitchell-u7s I put another comment on this thread with links to where I bought them from Amazon along with the sizes that they are.
Thanks for the informative demonstration, Angie. Have a great day. :)
Thank you! You too!
Love the cups n frother..gotta get those i think..thanks for sharing
I think you'll love them - they are great for tie dyeing!
Great info Angie thank you😁✌️
Thank you! 🙂
Did I just add silicone measuring cups and a milk frother to my Amazon wishlist? I sure did! Thanks for this video, Angie!
Awesome - I think you'll really love using them for dye mixing!
I think I did too Marissa!!!!

Most of my dyes are Dharma Trading Company dyes, but I have quite a few from Prochemical and Dye, Dyespin, Custom Colours, and a few Grateful Dyes colors.
So that's how it is done. Thank you for the wonderful video. What is the shelf life of the liquid dye?
Thank you! Most colors will last a couple of weeks if they are kept in a cool place. Darker colors like black tend to fade much sooner though. I normally mix black right before I use it to get the darkest black possible.
My experience with the colors is good, but they tend to fade, and I'm not sure what detergent to use to wash the shirt.
I use a textile detergent, but I'm not sure if that would work well with your type of dye.
@@FunEndeavors Muchas Gracias 💖🌹
@@PatriciaRodriguez-mw6th You're welcome! 🙂

Also can you tell me which grade Urea do you use? Because Agri and Pharma ..it comes in different grades
I purchase my Urea from the place where I purchase my dye. I am not sure what grade it is. Here is a link to the one I use: www.dharmatrading.com/chemicals/urea.html
Hey, how can I make a dye without using urea?
