BillyNou is about the wonderful process of natural dyeing I do for my brand, life, motherhood and the trails and errors of making and crafting.
I’d like to inspire others to become more conscientious, to find a connection with nature and benefit from this immense and totally accessible energy.

Please Let me know what would you guys like to see next.
Can you show how to prepare the fabric? I just received some alum but I don't know if it goes in the dye or let it sit with the fabric first. Also, what was that white stuff you added to the leaves?
Abby Love hello 😊 you can prepare the fabric with soy milk ( I have another video about that) or you can treat you fabric before with alum.... some people add it to the pot too .... I’d encourage trying everything to find out which works best for you 🌱🤍
Abby Love oh and the white stuff is salt 😊
BillyNou oh thank you so much!!! I’ve been collecting onion skins, acorns, and I have a lot of beets for food so Im ready to dye a lot of things I just wasn’t sure how to get started. Thank you for your help!

Possibly my fave

Thnak you Bina!!!❤
Hey! Great video, thank you. I'd love to see what would come out of a natural dye with elderberries.
Who is the real artist behind the scenes camer men .... / great job
Haha yes you’re right... that’ll be Alex, my partner 😆
@@billynou wow creative family 😂
I still have many stock from other source like Katapa, rambutan perlu, Jolawe, mahoni etc I video it... But watching this video I like to have indigo plant too.. 😊
Indigo is definitely worth having! ❤❤
Super
Thanks ☺️
Thank you for this wonderful video 🌹🌈🔆 Not only for the content, but the thoughtful way it was made (so soothing/calming) ❤
You should definitely consider adding the term "asmr" or "accidental asmr", as this was also really relaxing, as well as informative 💕
Thank you so much again (I had to subscribe) - Sending love from Australia ❤ Emma 🌈🔆
Thank you so much for your comment and do you know what you’re not the only person who’s said that 🤔 💜🦄
I mean about the asmr... not that you had to subscribe 😂☺️💗
@@billynou I'm not surprised... It was lovely 😊🌹🌹🌹
Out of curiosity, do you think cotton fabric would react more closely to the colour of the silk, or the bamboo?
Also, possibly a daft question, but does the colour stay put when washed... Have you done any natural dyes that you've found don't stay put after laundry? Sorry if that's a silly question, I'm new to this... But really want to actually try a couple of your techniques from your videos - thanks again for sharing 💕
Hope your days are still making you smile, even in these strange times 🌹🌈🔆 Thanks again for sharing what you do xxxx
I dont know but I think you should try the Indian indigo plant as well, as the plant is from temperate region of India from the foothills of the Himalayas. A legume which will have less requirements for fertilizer to the plant when you have those bushes, plus they grow upto 3 feet tall, so quick growing plant.
They have a 90 day cycle from seed to harvest, but can be kept as a bush with regular pruning and thinning. Just my suggestion.
Thank you. I will definitely look into it ☺️🌱
Love your videos! Did you prep the materials with anything first? Or just used the salt? I’m thinking of dyeing my bed sheet but not sure if I need to scour first.
Oh yes you should definitely scour and I prepped with soy milk too. Try out some samples first before you commit to a big piece... that way you’ll get a feel for it 😊
Such an awesome video. Who are some of your favorite natural dyers?
Ok there are so many but
@seaspellfiber
@thedogwooddyer
@caramariepiazza
@rebeccadesnos
@marramdesigns
All on Instagram… I may have made some spelling mistakes but you should be able to find them 💗💗
Hi!! Awesome job, I love it. Can I ask you something? I’m looking for the plant, but there’s a lot different... I know some species here (Indonesia), but I’m not sure... which one are you using? Thank you!! ❤️
Hello. Thanks for your comment. I’m using Japanese indigo. I got my seeds from Liz @thedogwooddyer on IG. Hope that helps 🌱🤍
Love this! Which color produced the green vs teal for the fibers you used? How long did it take for you to grow the indigo? I'm thinking of getting some to plant. :)
Thanks!!! So the silk went darker/ more green as it is a protein fibre and the bamboo went that lovely light teal colour. The plants took a few weeks to get to that size, probably a bit more than a month but I think this varies a lot depending on your climate and you can buy the seeds from a lady called Liz. Her Instagram is @thedogwooddyer. 💙💙
Beautiful colors!!!!! What was that powder you added to the fresh leaves at the beginning of the video? Thanks!!!
Salt!! 😆
Beautiful video...this style unique.😍...Let me know what else You add to water to activate this colour indigo?💙
Thank you .... it’s just simple old salt 💙🧚🏿♂️
What did you sprinkle on the leaves? I'm guessing it was little rocks to help crush the leaves?
M Cope salt!😆✨
Do you know if you can dye with rosemary? I have so much of it growing around my house.
Bailey L yes you can! It makes a range of yellows green colours depending on the fabrics and pots you use. Give it a go and see what you get😃 I would definitely treat the fabric with soy milk first. 🌱
Do you have a video explaining how to make an Indigo Vat with your powder you sell?
No! But this is a good idea and will try to get round to it asap ☺️
Is there anything different done for dyeing with indigo powder vs plant ?
Yes there is .... there is quite a few steps to making a vat with the powder. But it’s worth giving it a go!
Very nice, could you dye a mans rayon shirt using rose petals?
Hello... I’ve never dyed Rayon personally but I don’t see why not as it’s usually made with natural fibers! Rose petals can give quite different results depending on which variety and colour they are so I would definitely do some experimenting before hand 😊
Does it work with powdered indigo for dyeing hair? 🤔
Good question.... I’m not sure if the hair dyeing powdered indigo is the same stuff but maybe!! Give it a go 😊
Who were the natural dyers you recommended to follow?
I think I was talking about liz @thedogwooddyer and Brit @seaspellfiber .... they are my absolute faves. Beautiful humans with so much knowledge 💙
What kind of leves are they?
Indigo 🌱
Did you pre treat this with soy milk?!
By the way.... I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!
No I didn’t but it was silk, so took the colour quite well.... the colour fastness would have benefited with a soy milk bath though 🤍
Hi! do you know the scientific name of the plant used? Thank you :)
It’s persicaria tinctoria 🌱
Could you give us names of the people you mentioned at the beginning of the video? Love those colours!!! I prefer them so much more than dyes from the powder! Getting my indigo seeds today!!
ola wysocka yes of course. @thedogwooddyer and @seaspellfiber are both incredibly knowledgeable and beautiful humans who are worth following on Instagram. Liz @thedogwooddyer also sells her seeds too.
It's that salt?
Yep 😊
@@billynou thanks!!!!!
But.. This is not indigo palnt
Hello 😊 yes it is. It’s Japanese indigo! You can buy the seeds from @thedogwooddyer 💙
