Thank you for such a wonderful document, exactly of what you said - not only the amazing world of dying with mushrooms but also a true heart journey and wonderful friendships and mum and daughter relationship. And also of the very excitement of discovery. I am so happy I found your channel, Myra. I am watching from Europe, Czechia, near Prague and I am a bit down since the book is to be delivered only throughout USA. Do you think you could also send it here?

As always a very fun video. I was so happy to hear you say "international shipping" for your mother's and Miriam's book. But I can't find the link for this anywhere. Can you please let us know how we can order for oversee? It is on my wishlist for ages.

Yikes! I forgot to add the link to the description. Thank you for mentioning this - I've now added it to the description. We have noticed that the cost of international shipping is higher than we would like, so we are currently looking at additional international buying options.

Great video! Answered about 99% all of my novice natural dyer questions. I have some books ordered, (and trying to get my hands on your mom’s book 💕That video was so wonderful!) so currently at my stage of research the information is pretty scattered across a lot of sources, which is causing a lot of stress. I also watched another channel and this lady was dying with mushrooms etc in her kitchen with all her normal kitchen utensils, pots and machines (my head was exploding hahaha. But hey, be true to yourself I guess?) So it‘s nice to know that if I follow your tutorials all of these answers reliably apply to your videos. It‘s a great place to start and dive into! Thanks so much!

What a great video, new to dying this video has answered a lot of those questions in my head. I love your videos and although live in the soggy west of Ireland,I’ve managed to follow some of them and get some beautiful results. You are a great presenter and I trust your experience and I always go back and rewatch them so thank you so much.

What a wealth of knowledge. The only thing I noticed that seemed a bit off to me was that she keeps referring to the primary colors as yellow, red, and blue. We're all taught this in school, but if you do some experimentation you'll quickly find that mixing primary red and primary blue together does not give you vibrant purple. This is because the true primary colors are cyan magenta and yellow. You can take some magenta and put a little yellow in it, and get that bright red. You can mix a little bit of red into cyan and get that primary blue color. And if you mix magenta and cyan, you will get a vibrant purple color. This is probably why some species of that mushroom produce yellow dye, but ones that also have that one chemical turn bright red. I would wager that, if there were no pigments in that mushroom to make it a yellow base to begin with, then the dye would probably be more of a magenta or pink, rather than bright red

I am always wondering: how come the wool does not felt in almost boiling water?
@MyraMadeColorАй бұрын
Wool needs high heat and a lot of agitation to felt. Some types of wool will felt easier than others. I hope that helps!

Excellent video - thank -you! One question: I read an article years ago about Walnut dyeing and the author said that the odour during this process is not pleasant and she always does it outside. I believe she was in the Southern US. Do you experience this problem or does it depend on the species of Walnut tree?
@MyraMadeColorАй бұрын
I think it depends on the person and how they tolerate different scents. While I'm fine with a lot of different smells from my natural dyes - my family is not! :-) Dyeing outside is ideal, but if that isn't possible, I recommend opening windows or creating good air flow.

Your result is very fine, but I´ve got a sheep and her wool has exactly got the same colours in light and dark brown and her name is "Marion", deduced in this case from the french word "marron". So I´ve got a complete natural coloured wool.🤭 But by the way, I love your videos, particularly those with you and your Mum. So nice and tender !

Good luck with the T-shirts! It will work best if they are 100% cotton (or other plant fibers) and make sure to use a mordant.

The proof of whether oxalis flowers are actually good for dyeing is how the color holds up to light fastness and wash fastness tests. How has it done?

Reddish-brown: fiber was mordanted with alum. Also, a lower ratio of walnuts to fiber.

The "scouring soap" like synthrapol are pH neutral surfactants that removes oil from the spinning process and is very effective in removing synthetic dyes that haven't discharged your fiber, mainly from a dyebath that did not exhaust well. Unless you're talking the scouring soap used for processing raw wool, which is a much more involved process.

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.)
@MyraMadeColor2 ай бұрын
My suggestion would be try the dye using distilled water. That could help determine if your tap water is changing the color. I'm curious about a red dye - the closest I've come is orange. Did your resources list the specific type of onion? Did they modify the dye? Good luck!
@AnimeShinigami132 ай бұрын
@@MyraMadeColor they did not modify the dye. in the book I'm thinking of they listed the effects of different modifiers. It's called "Nature's Colors" by Ida Grae. I had an interesting result the other day. A dull almost bronze yellow from yellow onion skins using a homemade copper mordant made from leaving vinegar and water in a copper tea kettle to corrode. The result was a clear solution with pale blue sediment at the bottom. Pouring this into a 2 pound yogurt container with a handful of onion skins and half the container's volume of water heated in a regular tea kettle. The color is similar but not the same. However, there's a very small amount of copper in our drinking water. So how could that create a dramatic result like I saw.
