How to Dye Fabric Using Avocados

[@karlahernandez6895]

I love how the pattern turned out! Awesome. This soy milk is the same that is sold at the supermarket?

[@SheerStitchery]

How did you get that beautiful pattern? Was your fabric knotted before placing it in the dye?

[@TheMerrythought]

Soy milk! We share more details about how to make a pattern in the video.

Is this dyed fabric washable at 60° in the washing machine without fading?

[@TheMerrythought]

Ours has held up pretty well with some washes!

Why does the soy milk pattern need to dry for multiple weeks first!

[@TheMerrythought]

From everything that I read before trying the project, it's important for the soy milk have time to "cure" and completely bond to the fabric. Everyone says at least a week is important.

Do you have to use soy milk or can it be another product?

I’m trying to figure out a way to undertake the seemingly Herculean task of dyeing a queen sized comforter with avocado pits. My friends have an avocado tree and saved 70+ pits for me! :-O It’d be tough but do you think I could transport pots of boiling water to the bath tub to have something large enough to soak the comforter in? Any recommendations?

[@TheMerrythought]

I've seen a lot of people dye in plastic totes but I've never dyed anything that big! I would think if you boiled it in batches and dumped it in the tote, it would probably work just fine.
