whats the music

I use an extra fine mesh tea infuser filter meant to fit a half gallon mason jar (bought from Mason Jar Lifestyle). It is metal, very tall and sits to the side of my fabric in the pot. I sometimes clip it to the pot to keep it from falling over. I think it works great!

Looking for information on the effect of hard water on red onion skin dye. I just had to have the landlord descale my bathtub faucet. X.x I get the feeling this explains why I could never get red or maroon from red onion skins in spite of finding dye books that said that was the result. I think it's either a water quality issue or an issue with cultivars of onion (one of the dye books was from the 70s.)

Um encanto ❤

Hi Myra

I have cow with me, how much dung | want to take for 100gm cotton fabric Please.....

Hello from Sweden. Thank you for this incredible and beautiful documentary. I'm a knitter and spinner, and I'm fascinated by natural dyeing but I dont have much experience. I have tried some in the summer with plants. When you mentioned Sweden and Carla and Eric my jaw dropped, because I have a book written by them. I have to check the illustrations.... Seeing the joy in Dorothys eyes as she talks about this subject has now inspired me to look for mushrooms too to dye with. And most of all, to try it and see.

Tôi xin lỗi trước.vì tôi không biết tiếng anh nên bạn có thể dịch tiếng việt nam cho chúng tôi hiểu được không bạn?có thể giúp chúng tôi không vì chúng tôi rất muốn nghe bạn chia sẽ?❤❤❤🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

Wow ❤

Can i make dye with any berries?

She has such a great sense of humor 😂❤

❤❤❤beautiful!! Thanks for sharing

A lovely summary, quite nice life story as well as information, thanks!

i dyed with black eyed susan before i tried lobster mushrooms, now im hooked on learning about mushrooms and their colors

Absolutely wonderful thanks for sharing this with us I am so inspired 🍄‍🟫🌈

What kind of mordant did you use?

wondering what is considered a "low temperature" as well as what temp to set the dehydrator to.

These are highly toxic - what preparation you taking?

This is unrelated, but as I'm getting ready to dye with privet berries and watch your fantastic tutorial, I can't help but to notice you look a lot like Christina Appelgate to me! Especially when you smile! :D

Absolutely wonderful documentary! Very proud of my fellow Swedes having contributed to the mushroom colouring canon 🙏 This book is now a must for all plant/mushroom dye enthusiasts.

I consulted chatGPT and it says to use lemon juice to acidify the liquid to between 4-5 and ensure not to heat more than 180° to get the purple color to stick instead of the grey. Maybe it works; I'd like to hope AI is not always terrible. Thanks!

Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this story! ❤

I dyed with privet berries some time ago and got two beautiful green colors. One a deep green and another a lime green. The lime green came from burning the berries on the stove. I've been trying to get these colors again with no luck. I collected 1000g of privet berries. Not sure if the freezing is changing the colors. I originally used silk mordanted in soy. I've tested it on a variety of mordanted cotton and some silk to no avail!!

was the wool pre-mordanted (and with what? Alum?) or are Privet Berries a direct dye?! It would be so cool if it was a direct dye.

Thank you Ma’am…just perfect video I’ve been searching for.You’re the best ❤️🙏🏻

Thank u ma'am. For making green dyeing so easy. It was puzzling to see, alpine changing color from purple to green n absorbency index of different fabrics from same solution. Jussojuan

Have you tried dying cotton?

Everything about this video is beautiful. Myra and Dorothy, thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of natural dyes and dying with mushrooms. Such beautiful souls you are.

Perfect excuse to make french onion soup!

Have you tried this with cellulose? Very cool. I guess some purples will turn green with an alkaline modifier and a yellow. I've tried it with logwood and weld, and watched someone use turmeric and black mulberry juice.

Love you two so much! Thanks for the info

An absolutely brilliant video. What a wonderful heart warming inspirational story. Your mums one exceptional lady. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Wonderful!!!

Wow. Love it. ❤❤

Such beautiful colours 🩷❤️

This is very cool and inspiring. I'm wondering why do you not make the dye bath alkaline to begin with? Why grey first, then green? And if you leave non-superwash in overnight, will you get a deeper colour?

That’s some pretty good looking green dye

What a fantastic story. Thank you for sharing.

Aww this video is so fascinating! I am a freshman biology student and am currently studying lichens as part of our exam, and I am glad to have watched this video for new learning. I loved how your mom explained everything to you! Thanks for sharing this!

You two are so cool. ❤

Thank you for this beautiful history of women doing where their hart lies and giving them the credit they deserve! I love to know more about it and try it myself here in The Netherlands.

Wow, this is so informative. I have to admit, I also dread mordanting, but now see the importance of it, especially with dyeing cotton. Thanks for explaining it all. I didn't even know what chalk was used for, and never heard of the wheat bran stuff. I love everything about this video and will watch all of yours I can find.

WOW just discovered your channel and what a gem of information you and your Mum especially have. Love this video on Lichens, and always wondered if they would produce a colour. Here In NZ we have 9 variety's i think it is and will defiantly try your method and note them down. Huge Hugs from down under xx

Thank you for this video! I followed your process and got nice light yellow, then tried the same process again and added iron and got green!

So well explained. A dyer who understands the chemistry. A pleasure to learn from you.

helloo, is it also good for dyeing cotton fabrics??

I was walking around rubbing parts from different plants to see if they left any color, and Dame's Rocket did. I rubbed the petals into the bill of my hat and it turned a deep green. The fabric was sort of tan to begin with, so maybe it makes blue dye and mixed with the yellow to make the green. I don't see anything about it for natural dyes, but it works and it grows all over the place. That might be a fun one for you to experiment with.

Gracias muy buen video

Thank you! So how much alum for how much water? Or does the water amount not matter? Thank you 😊

How much water is in the pot? What size is the pot? Either one would help us know how much water is being used. Thank you, great job.
