What you use for “fixer” (called a mordant, vinegar in this case) is for wool and animal fibres. Cotton and cellulose fibres (Plant fibres) require salt as a mordant.
Fantastic vid, thanks! Really fun and presented in a chirpy way!! i dyed with turmeric for the first time the other day..amazing!! tyeh colour is fab, can't wait to try beets!! Keep up the great work (-:
Hi, I hope that you're doing well. What a wonderful video this is Sweetie, thank you so much, I truly enjoyed it! I'll have to try this for my lace and trims, it really is such a gorgeous color! TFS and I hope tat you have a wonderful day! Hugs and many blessings... Bobbi Ann
Baack in 2019, I was making boiling beats. I accidentally wiped beat juice on my black denim jeans. There are no accidents in life; hence this video. I love how epic it looked. I'll probably do it again, but this time do it with some vinegar.
Wow. I can’t believe all the ugly, snippy comments from people who obviously at least think they know more than this young lady. You may in fact be right about the process, but how about being helpful and offer advice, rather than snide remarks? She never put herself forward as an expert - was just sharing a fun project she tried. SMH at how hateful y’all are. @usttv - Thanks for the inspiration.
1) It's not called a "fixture" it's called a Mordant... 2) vinegar is NOT a mordant, it is a pH adjuster (used to lower the pH= increase the acidity: for materials that are pH sensitive, ie- red cabbage, spinach, etc) and is not needed for most dyes and will actually destroy some color compounds/elements in the dye bath of some materials (e.g.= lemon juice will break down the tannins in tea when using tea for a brown dye and you will get ittle, if any, dye color)...
Those lovely peels would add to the color. Put them in a netting or dish cloth and add them packaged into the dyebath. Eat the beets later. Wash the dyed items separately because some of the dye will run to the other cloth and be more permanent than you want it to be. PRettttttyyyyy pink!!! )))
Vinegar doesn't fix dye. It is a modifier, not a mordant. Boiling the beets ruins color potential. As soon as you sweat or touch the fabric wrong, this color will be ruined. Sun will also ruin this dye. Everything about this video is wrong. You need to fix the dye properly. This might be fun project, but there are better ways to do this.
Natural dyes only work on natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool, etc. You have to wash them before you dye them. Also you have to leave the fabric for a long time while it's hot and use mordant such as salt. Also the fabric has to be really soaked with water to get the best results. I guess you used a poly mixed fabric and that's why it didn't take.
Mis-information is rife today and this video is no exception. Sadly, this is so wrong, almost all of it, so many people are going to be disappointed. I wonder why you did this when you obviously know little about it and I'm serious about this. People come to my classes with all the wrong notions about dyeing. They get it from videos like this. At least you said the dye won't last but you needed to make a bigger note of that for viewers. You don't mention the fabric -if this was cotton, it would take little dye as it needs to be washed with soda ash. Cotton is the hardest fabric to dye. You needed to rinse it out to SHOW people how much colour it loses.
You should have tested the effectiveness of it after its dry but its a good video. Im researching about natural dye and its effectveness, just finished uding beets and to be honest its a fail. tried it 3 times now and its starting to dissapoint me. anyway its part of our research trial and error and stuff anyway thanks.
If you wash the cotton fabric before you dye it'll take it better. Also the vinegar isn't a "fix" or mordant, it changes the color of the dye. The mordant you can use is SALT and it will last for a long time. I dyed a futon cover with avocado and salt and I wash it all time and it's color still holds up. I had really good results using cabbage, avocado, beets, onion skins, etc and I always used salt as a mordant.
“The residue may look like you killed someone!” said with a kind smile, lol. Awesome vid, thanks for the tips
Placing your garments in the dryer after you line dry should set the dye more permanent.
That was a beautiful video....thank you .....Marissa ....I adored your spirit and character ....so relaxed ...and with a spice of life.
VitaLux IUC I agree! I really enjoyed it!

Thank you! How?
Her dimples make me happy! 🙂
If you add an alkali such as soda the colour turns blue, have you tried that?

Any kind of vinegar? Apple Cider, salad vinegar? Or white only? Why do you have to boil the shirt for so long- won't it shrink? Thanks!
This was the cutest tutorial ever! The music really topped it off :)

I was wondering😮 if it will work. It's a beautiful color
I need to ask a dumb question 😬 but when you say a quarter, do you mean a quarter cup?
Baack in 2019, I was making boiling beats. I accidentally wiped beat juice on my black denim jeans. There are no accidents in life; hence this video. I love how epic it looked. I'll probably do it again, but this time do it with some vinegar.
Best vid on this so far

Hey really interesting videoo!!!! But I have a doubt...when you boil for such a long period of time won't the water evaporate???
Thank you for sharing, I would like to try it.
is it possible to use the ends?? I am trying to use my scraps!
The beet greens and stalks you can saute' with garlic and oil and it tastes like a broccoli rabe. It is delicious.
I just finished watching a video on how to dye, but saw her cute face so I clicked , I learnt more about dyeing thanks!

I dyed mine with beets and flower petals (just the petals!) and it turned fkn mint green 🥴🥴
Flower petals of what exactly???
@@mishelhans8134 A purple flower. Lupine petals.
I would much rather have vegetables on my shirt than dyes ;)
How long does the dye last?
Does heavier fabric, like a sweater, get darker/deeper color?
Can I add rose petals n some food coloring natural of course? To increase the color?

M can are you going to do a video??
So how are you supposed to do it then? Do you have any constructive feedback at all?
Then explain them because right now everything I’ve researched tells me you’re just full of shit
I propose we declare this post by M to be not helpful.
what about the vinegar and water you leave them with the fabric after you pour the beets ?
location?
Can use apple cider vinegar?
Go San Francisco, this was such a nice video
San Fran, u so edge with your poser vids. Come to Oregon to see how homesteadings really done, city dweller.
Awesome! Is there a way with adding another ingredient that you can make this dye with beets more permanent? Anyone know? Thx
SALT.
Wow this color is amazing :) I'm trying it with grey pants to make it a deep wine color

Your production quality, camera work and sound is good. You're likeable. But you should have put in more research. You need to learn about mordants.
But all is good. now we know about mordants. Thanks for your contribution.
I did it and the colour that came out was beige. Nothing to do with the bright pink she's showing. The process however is not as simple as that.
Natural dyes only work on natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool, etc. You have to wash them before you dye them. Also you have to leave the fabric for a long time while it's hot and use mordant such as salt. Also the fabric has to be really soaked with water to get the best results. I guess you used a poly mixed fabric and that's why it didn't take.
did you rinse out the vinegar and water?
Fantastic
First of all what a cutie you are :) thanks for teaching. I'll post a pic of how mine come out

Very true.
Does the colour wash off
Yes, it will be beige not bright pink.
Vinegar, citric acid, and urine will shift the ph and assist in different ways, but not fix dye. They are not mordants
That’s the stove. The oven is below the stove.
super loved it...😘😘😘😘❤❤
