[@rynait]

suggest dump dye powder in first through funnel then pour liquid urea water through funnel (capture powder stuck to wet spots). That is how I used to mix mine before switching to silicone cups (don't like to deal with floaters)

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll keep that in mind. ❤️🌈

[@maceestorer2802]

I’ve found your videos to be so helpful! I recently purchased Glauber’s Salt from Dharma. Do you think it is necessary for some colors?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I’m glad you are finding things useful. I can’t speak on Glauber’s salt because I have never used it. For tie dye, I don’t think it’s necessary, as my outcome is always really vibrant without it. I do think for some types of fabrics it might be necessary. T-shirts, not so much. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help. ☺️❤️😂

[@ms.bardotb1900]

Have you’ve ever used Pro Chemical & Dye? I’m going to use your conversion and hope for the best!🙏🏽

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I haven’t. Take note that this is my small batch recipe. This is the standard instructions for mixing Dharma’s dye. Here is the link to the instructions for mixing pro chem dyes. It looks similar to Dharma’s instructions. prochemicalanddye.net/downloads/dl/file/id/111/product/0/tie_dye_using_pro_mx_directions.pdf Best of luck! ❤️🌈

[@BobThorton]

Thanks for the tips. How long do you keep your dye before you throw it out? Over 60 dyes at one time!? How cool. I wish I could do that. I’m jealous! Just kidding, cool for you.

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I try to make small amounts and use it up right away. I don’t mix my dye with soda ash so I think it lasts a little while. I’ve had dye around a week and the results were still vibrant, however I don’t think that’s recommended. I’m still working on all the new dye swatches. ❤️🌈

[@kylemessicktiedyecollector5690]

What ink of Procion mx Fiber dyes did.... you used them for like 2 ozs or 8 ozs. Where did you get these 16 ounces bottles from??

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I use Dharma Trading Company dyes. This recipe is for 1 shirt or swatching out your colors. 1/4 cup of water. It’s been a long time… gosh, I hope I explained it in the tutorial 🤷‍♀️❤️🌈 How to mix dye: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYu7fJKAo9-qjc0 16oz Squeeze Bottles: amzn.to/3kO9Wvm

[@denisebonetti5049]

So you make a pint? Of urea water then 1/4 cup of that per dye?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I make a gallon of chem water and then I mix my dyes from that gallon jug. There is a tutorial in my tools playlist. ❤️🌈

[@denisebonetti5049]

@@BelladonnaDyesCo I'm sorry, I'm a pain, can't find the Playlist. I watched the video tho, is that it? Just not sure how much urea in a gallon.

[@kasandramckenna6221]

Do you need to use ureates? I didn’t get any wondering if I should before doing my batch?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

It’s not 100% necessary. Urea is a wetting agent. It also helps some stubborn dyes dissolve. It is not needed as long as you keep your item well covered so it doesn’t dry out. Once the item drys out the chemical reaction of the soda ash and dye stops. ❤️🌈

[@kasandramckenna6221]

@@BelladonnaDyesCo Thank you!! I am so excited to get back into dying. I used to dye yarns with acid dyes and tie dyed a million years ago with tulip but I’m ready to get serious about it!

[@kasandramckenna6221]

@@BelladonnaDyesCo thanks for the info! We just made some soda ash water and sprayed th down before batching to make sure they stay wet!

[@Bobby_TheHammer]

What if I want to do a big batch? Is there a video for that?

[@BelladonnaDyesCo]

I follow Dharma’s recipe because I use their dyes. It’s 1 cup water to 2 tsp powder dye. * 4tsp dye, ** 8tsp dye. I don’t have a tutorial for that but I will make one. ❤️🌈

Do you have Wisteria of 2. oz

I don’t sell dye. Yes, I personally have Wisteria. If you’re looking to buy procion dye, I get mine from Dharma Trading Company. ❤️🌈 www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-fiber-reactive-procion-dyes.html
