@@minakshisharma3878 I typically do half when combining the 2. Making the sodium acetate can be tedious, and only a small amount is produced at a time. So, I usually just take what was produced--usually a table spoon or less for one batch-- and mix it with the same amount of alum. I keep the mixture in a container for future use.
I'm late seeing this, and you may have done it by now That sounds good! Mixing tannin with dye should be fine . Most books I've read list it as a quick, viable way to do things. Things like avocado seeds and skin as well as pomegranate skins are used to dye fabric, and they have high amounts of tannin. So that's like an all in one such as you're mentioning. Thanks for watching!
My apologies for just now getting to your comment! There is very little info online about measurements for this. However, I do remember seeing some measurements on one website. I will try to find that again for you. What I remember from trying it based on that particular recipes, though, is that the alum acetate came out too wet. I got the best result through trial and error. But I will find the recipe I remember seeing and post it here. I can say this one thing about it for sure, if you have baking pooled on the bottom of your bowl and container as your adding it to the vinegar, you've added too much. There shouldn't be a lot of it just sitting on the bottom once the reaction with the vinegar happens. Once all the bubbling settles down, the baking soda should be mostly dissolved in the vinegar. Otherwise, once you cook it, you will have a wet outcome rather than a dry one.
It has taken me far too long to update here, but I just added a new, better video. I use 4 cups of vinegar and up to 4 tablespoons of baking soda. ruclips.net/video/Nju4mQy3MvM/видео.html
Are you asking where did I find the ingredients? If so, I got all of the items from the grocery store. Alum can be found in the aisle with spices. Let me know if that answers your question, and thank you for watching!
@@jessicabey275 Ok, no problem. It was really just trial and error, but the main recipe I found for the sodium acetate was to add a spoonful of baking soda to a pot and slowly pour vinegar in the bowl until the bubbling stops. In my experience, the bubbling never stopped. So, at some point I just went ahead with the heating process. The main this I found is that using too much baking soda starting out will produce a gooey substance, which I show at some point in this video. Another recipe says use 7 teaspoons of baking soda for every 2.1 cups of vinegar. It also days to add the baking soda to the vinegar instead of the opposite. I may have tried that but need to do it again.

So, it was helpful in a way, but I still have no idea how to make it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
My pleasure! Thank you for watching. 🙂
What’s the ratio of sodium acetate & alumnus

About to try my first viscose (flax) natural dye. Have tannin. Q: why do the tannin first? I mixed mine with my dye. Is that going to fail?

@@plantdyefortextiles Thank you! I was worried but now I'm not. Actually, it got delayed and I'm just now putting it through the mordant soak.
Hi there hmm i would love to have a recepy its hard to do it without proper measurments - for the first as also for the mixing steps - Thank youuu

Where did you find to make this? I have searched but nothing that I am comfortable with

@@plantdyefortextiles thank you! Do you know the aprox ratios for the sodium acetate to alum
@@plantdyefortextiles sorry for so many questions
You have no measurements, nothing.
