Great detailed video of the process. Thank you - also extremely adorable 🙏

This is incredibly helpful. Will be using it to dye ostrich feathers for a hat I will be making. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Hello Lynlee, good luck and I hope it all works for you!

[@CatnipLingerie]

Acid dyes will only work on protein fibres, silk, wool, feathers & nylon. They won’t dye cotton or straw, them may stain them but the dye won’t move into the fibre. The heat step is necessary (via heating the item in the dye bath or steaming after sitting in the dye bath) to set the dye, otherwise the colour may run when worn or washed.

Hello Sarah! You are absolutely right! Since making this video I discovered Procion MX dye and made a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qau0pK2mj96Jhqs

Hi, for the algorithm. Yours, Ann

Did you wash your fabric after dying? It softens yarn. I only put a tiny amount in my hand and rub together as if I'm washing my hands. Not directed onto yarn. Any extra color if remaining will come out but it should be clear.

My question about acid dye and you explain everything clear ,pls let me know if there is any book helping about color theory . Many many thanks ,great video and you are lovely❤️❤️

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

Hello Atty! Thank you for watching my video 😊 I don't know of any specific good books to help with colour theory, but you might find a "colour wheel" helpful. You can buy these on Amazon. Also at 5:57 in this video I show a colour wheel with dye mixing recipes that you can reference. Basic colour theory is: Magenta + Yellow = Red | Magenta + Cyan = Purple | Cyan + Yellow = Green.

😂 I had to laugh. It’s beautiful how everything is so precisely worked into formulas. You are a milliner on intellectual steroids. Most girls here in the states can’t even do algebra after high school, and few have taken even basic Chemistry. Kudos to you for being the kicka*s smart girl who proves a modiste has respectable brains and creative talent, can synthesize ideas into reality. The perfect union of arts and science.

I am very lucky to have had access to a very good education. Although I must confess I actually really struggle with numbers - I find letters a lot easier which is why I prefer everything to be expressed in algebraic terms. I also had no chemistry in my education - I just know where to find the relevant resources to read.

Dying is like weirdly hardcore lol

[@ByIlonaMillinery]

I think this is the best way to describe the process 🤣
