Ok so the red cabbage dye is actually an indicator aka it changes color depending on the pH, and apparently it still works after the shirt gets rinsed and dried. So if you spill something like vinegar or lemon juice on the shirt it's gonna turn pink, or green if you spill laundry detergent on it, AND it will go back to blue when you rinse it the more you know
Even perspiration changes it. Reminds me of those old Hypercolor shirts that changed color from body heat but mostly in the armpits because that was the warmest part.
Theoretically you could make cool designs with different alkaline and acids. But I don't know how to make the colors permanent. It is really interesting but with the next wash all the different colors would go back to blue because washing powder ist a alkaline
If I remember correctly: soy milk works well bc the dye has protein to stick to. You’re supposed to soak plant based fabric in soy (we used soy powder bc it was cheaper). It’s why silk wool takes dye easily-something about dye sticking well to protein :)
The quality in transitions with the fruits and veggies and the dye just makes me so happy when I watch it ahh Also really cool to see all those tests and how much your table suffers when doing all these ;D it's real cool !
even cooler is to combine both the avocado dye samples and the red cabbage samples together to make two checkerboard shirts, maybe even add some cool embroidery to some of the squares as well
Black walnuts are some of my favorite materials to use, they turn the fabric into rich browns and coppery colors, they’re also super color fast, meaning the color will stick after you wash it. Also you should experiment with iron! Take a bunch of rusty things and put them in a jar with water and white vinegar, let that sit for a week, then make sure you dilute your iron water cause it’ll be super concentrated, but it has some fun and interesting effects on the dyes. With walnut it darkens the color into a dark brown, and with avocado it goes from a reddish pink to a purple. You can also paint with the iron, and create cool designs!
Alot of food based dyes are ph sensative, so when you wash them they turn to their 'basic' color. It's not great for wearing, but you csn turn it back to its red 'acidic' color by adding lemon juice
only the avocado will dye correctly fabrics. tips : cut the peels and the seeds and let dry. when it's done grind it on your blender. putt powder on water and let boil for 1 hour. more you putt powder more the dye will be darker. after that filter and boil for an hour again with your fabric.
I've used onion peel and that has dyed my cotton shirt and table cloth pretty well. It stayed on even after washing. I agree with the cabbage and spinach though. They won't hold up washing that well probably since they're more stain than dye.
I am just amazed by the amount of time and love you put into these videos! I can't imagine just the chaos with all the different video clips filmed on various days etc.. The videos always turn out perfectly!
Interesting Squarespace ad, I'd actually love to hear you talk more about how to sell stuff and earn a living as a creative. Cool video! I especially liked the dyes you made from scraps like the onion and avocado.
Hey! Give Logwood a go it’s a super intense purple and when you paint on it with lemon the strokes turn bright orange.. so fun! Also, try using the red onion skins, bring them to a boil and you’ll get green, another easy one is turmeric. Oh and have a look into bundle dying with flowers
Your channel has been my comfort channel since you were making patches and stencils, your content is just so relaxing and calming for me to watch to thank you :)
The transitions in your videos are always *chefs kiss* my dude. They're also calm enough to help me unwind before bed and help my insomnia, so thank u for making them so chill.
A really important thing you missed about plant based dyeing is that most of them are not resistant to UV light. They will fade a lot or completely disappear when exposed to the sunlight.
@@SonnyMeadows I did not mention blueberry in my comment but it will acctually fade a lot in sunlight. The most successfull method I have found to remove blueberry on clothes is to pour boiling water on the stain and wash it with soap after that. It works best on new stains. On white cotton fabric like sheets or t-shirts you can acctually remove a lot of organic stains by first washing and after that bleach in the sun. I had a large blueberry stain on a white wall (I tripped while holding a glass of blueberry smoothie) that disappeared slowly by itself. The wall had no direct sunlight but I think the UV-light from the windows removed it.
Very well-made video. Just what I was looking for. I've got a can of beets, a bottle of chlorophyll, and tumeric powder. Now I know what to do. Thanks!!!
As far as I understand, the success of certain plant dyes depends on the mordant you use, the fibre/fabric type and also whether you try to 'fix' it. When i tie-dye, I use a fabric conditioner right before the dying process with water. This is meant to ensure the fibres are receptive and there isn't any oils or resistant substances in them. Perhaps that may be why the colours aren't as bold? Another point to consider is heat potentially assisting the process of the fibres retaining colour. If it's a hot day just keep the fabric in an airtight wrap/bag/jar or put in a microwave in airtight cling wrap (the dye leaks out if not secured or air pockets can cause a bang). This is a great exploration of the methods though.
Apparently it’s a super effective way to keep cuts clean because bandaids gets gross lol. There are things specifically for cut like liquid bandaid, but superglue works just as well. Some hospitals even glue cuts together like that!
@@syd9394 yeah! I once cut the skin between my thumb and pointer finger and I'm terrified of needles so when the doctor said they could just glue my cut you bet your ass I said yes lol
i have been watching your channel for years and i am amazed by all of the things you have put out, especially recently! keep up the good work u are killin it
sewingthroughthepast has a couple of really great videos on plant-based dyes. checking out historical dyeing methods can really help when trying stuff like this out. all of these shirts came out really cool! gotta add we're loving the uptick in Content lately 😔✌👌👌
I love your content and love how you always add in the things that don’t work as well as material testing!! I think, at the end, when you show all the materials, it would be helpful to have little subtitles to label what we’re looking at bc it gets a little confusing with just a voiceover. Keep up the good work people
I follow you from your first videos. Everything you create is incredible, full of imagination and refinement. Never extinguish your curiosity, you are amazing Bryan ;)
Salt and vinegar are mordants. Dye fixatives to use after you dye something. Salt is the mordant for plant fibers ( cotton, linen, hemp) and vinegar is the mordant for animal fibers ( wool and silk).
Potasium alum is used like mordent (should be used before, to prepare the fabric) and after the dye you can use salt, vinegar or sodium carbonate as a color fixer
I've also been experimenting with dyes and natural dyes! Would love to see more of this and your experimentation with them. Especially the washing process afterwards and if anything varies when the shirt isn't 100% cotton. Where can I see/read more about this?
Hi Camila! I’m a natural dyer and I just saw your comment, so I thought it would be great to answer it (: The universe of natural dyes is huge and it’s important to know some information to get the most out of it. So, when we are dying with natural pigment, we will always use natural fabric, cotton, silk, wool, hemp... If the fabric is not 100% cotton, and has a synthetic fabric in the mix, chances are only the cotton part “grabs” the dye, so there will be parts with the fabric original color. Anyway, I don’t recommend using mixed composition fabrics (even if they are all from natural fiber), because the decomposition overtime is different for each one of them. So, thinking in sustainability, is always better to use a fabric that is 100% of a fiber. The washing process is also very important! You have to clean your fabric reeeeeally well before dyeing to remove any dirt. And after, of course, but you have to keep it the most natural way you can. So prefer natural laundry soaps, with natural components and don’t let your natural dyed clothes in the sun to dry! Hope this was helpful to you! ❤️
I have made a shirt with soy milk soaking (3 times) and a strong onion dye and that held up washing 2 times well so far. Although I advise hand wash and non strong washing detergent.
Thank you for doing this extensive experimentation! This is one of the best and most thorough natural dye demo video I have seen. Very helpful! Thanks for all the tips. I can't wait to try it!
This is so cool. I really like that deep purple/red and the creamy yellow/tan color together. Maybe someone mentioned it, but the end cards don't show up at 13:12 and then there's a black screen starting at 13:34. not until the end towards 14:38 we get the suggested video and subscribe circle.
Now that he mentions Alum, i wonder if he'll do those DIY crystals with different mineral salts, there was one with copper salt and it grows blue diamons shaped crystals and that would be nice for making simple jewelry
Was waiting for the tumeric to come for the yellow and then BAM sucker-punched with onions. the color came out super gorgs tho!! making me wanna go make a mess in my kitchen :)

So that would be in general wha natural fabrics dye better than synthetic?
The quality in transitions with the fruits and veggies and the dye just makes me so happy when I watch it ahh
Also really cool to see all those tests and how much your table suffers when doing all these ;D it's real cool !
You should sew the shirts you cut up to test back together with like, exposed seams. I feel like that could look super cool
Thats what I was thinking

I wanna try putting lemon juice on all my shirts now!!
Use turmeric for yellow!!!!! It stains literally everything at my work including clothing and utensils!! Would be a good dye 🙏
It won't hold up well on clothes though, especially cotton and especially things going through the washingmachine.
@@YuliaLinderoth it holds up very well! I dyed a cotton dress with turmeric and it's still bright yellow after about a year of washing and wearing 💛
@@stef8434 That's great! But chemically it's still a fugitive dye!
@@YuliaLinderoth what are some non fugitive dyes that would be ideal for cotton?
@@nafl350 I'll check my books and get back to you!

@@mimiz6575 wash your t-shirt on washing machine or soak it on vinegar or washing soda and you will see.
Love all these tips 🤍🤍
@@Shmoxd For light pink try hops and spruce cones. I know they aren't veggies, but they're still quite common.
@@coquelicot9127 what do you mean? What will I see? I used soy milk as a fixative by soaking and drying it 3 times before the dye. :)
THE COOLEST PROJECT !!!
here before he fixes the misspelling of "FRUTIS"
heh heh,,, frutis

You can find alum at Indian grocery stores in the spice aisle (though it usually comes in big crystals)
My brother’s gonna beg me to make so many t-shirts lol
Wow this is one of the best natural dyes vid
If you use a spray bottle and spray random plastic cut outs, it would probably create a more crisp design. Yeah, Schmoxd.☮️❤️

I appreciate that you mentioned shibori! It’s something I’ve been wanting to do annnnnnd that red cabbage is just calling meeee to try it😈
U are by far biggest professional in the DIY business.
