Exactly.. ! This was more about them instead of the natural dye

[@MA-ts9qt]

Not much is going on. Its a veg in water.... boiling.

[@torrii5333]

y’all this works amazing for clothing & it’s very earth friendly (it will fade a little but if you start out with white clothes it will look very pastel and gorgeous)

[@torrii5333]

also if you want a very pretty brown colour i recommend using red onion skin or dried avocado skin

If grating turmeric was too potent, why not just grate less turmeric? Seems to be an economically viable option!

[@judithgoodwin8013]

Yes seeing that there’s such a small amount of time and the videos I would rather everything be focused on what they can teach us rather than the cute stuff… I know I’m being a bit picky but when you’re brand new and you’re trying to learn every minute counts… Also two people doing the teaching is distracting and again I would rather hear if you’re using certain vegetable and you want to change the color I want to know Do I use lemon do I use lime I want very specific ABCs and not all over the place. Having complained however this is a very good video.

[@connieoldham4458]

Can you store the dyes? How do I store them and how long will they keep for?

[@MarketsofSunshine]

I store them in the refrigerator for about a week in a glass jar with a lid. After about a few weeks mold started to grow on top. I dye paper and fabric with mine.

[@deniserafaeli]

yes! just add in clove and thyme as preservative

[@jaclynnqueen4123]

Adding an anti-bacterial essential oil should keep it from molding.

If you add less baking soda will you get a color somewhere between purple and blue or is it that any baking soda changes the people to only one specific shade of blue?

Really appreciable

[@erkkimaeorg7544]

I tried red cabbage and ginger, with fusili. Although the solution colours were really vibrant, they did not result in colouring the pasta very well (only darker and lighter). I also had a nice greenish colour with mixing cabbage and ginger boiled juice, but did not affect the pasta :(. I also added lime but no colour was translated. Could you suggest why this happened? Maybe it works better with spagetti? :) Do you know how it works with rice?

[@Chelsea_stewart]

if you use these dyes to dye paper, would you recommend waiting for the water to cool before soaking the paper or soak it while it is still hot (trying to dye homemade paper)

[@joynhands]

I love paper dyeing too! I'd recommend waiting for the water to cool because the heat might damage the paper fibres. For most types of paper, soaking it in colour for longer than a minute I find disintegrate the paper fibres. If I need a stronger colour, I'd do a "recharge". Soak in dye - dry the paper - soak again, for several cycles until I am happy with the intensity of colour.

[@sanjayshah2507]

Nice and natural

how to a dye cloths? how do u know how to make the dye permanent in a cloth? How do i know what fixative works with cabbage and tumeric and which one works with berries? salt or vinegar? How does the Fixative Process work? Thank u for the tips about green and red from baking soda and purple cabbage and lime juice. That is extremely helpful to know i dont need more than a purple cabbage to get moving now. How will it remain permanent? I am wanting to dye a towel.

What if you cook pasta in colored liquid from the very beginning without pre-cooking? Will it work?

As someone who crochets, this seems like an amazing idea... I'd be concerned about the smell on the yarn though.....

No issue with the smell of the yarn, use wool or cotton natural fibres, a mordant helps uptake.

[@adriaweissburg8966]

Can we swap out the three cups of water for 3 cups of oil? Like for candles?

[@joynhands]

Assuming you want to create coloured candles, it's worth checking if the colour is oil soluble. For example, alkanet root, which is a botanical-based ingredient, makes a ruby-red colour when dissolved in oil but does not dissolve in water. The vegetable dyes in the video are water soluble, making a nice water-based dyes but not all would work for candles.

I really wanted to know what natural ingredients to use to dye T shirts. I'm going to give it a try anyway so thanks for the quantities and the method.

[@MangoSmoothie971]

Did it work

[@ZalthorAndNoggin]

@@MangoSmoothie971 Hi Hannah, basically, no. Having watched your video and a couple of others I came across another one done by a professional team testing how well natural dyeing really worked opposed to that sensational quick tips video. A lot of the results ended up okay but smelling like over stewed cabbage and washing out very quickly so I relented, bought some Dylon Intense Black dye and did it in the washing machine as instructed. Result was perfect, the colour is set fast and not stinky in the slightest!

[@paulafox30]

That is sooooo cool that u can get 3 colours from one vegetable/item. Apparently baking soda turns turmeric red too.

[@urvideepakpatel4973]

How do you deal with the smell that may come?

[@paulafox30]

Cool I've recently taught myself to crochet and I was gonna make a little shade sail out of cotton kitchen twine but I can only get boring off white so some natural colours would be fab. Most of this stuff I have growing in the garden! I have summer forget me not I was gonna rip out and apparently u can use the root for a red dye!! So I'm gonna have to try all these. My only question would be what can I use as a fixative so the colours don't fade so quick??

[@paulafox30]

Ahhhh ur using it for food colouring. Ok. Still cool tho.

[@j.rajkumar6999]

This dye permanent or temporary.?

[@josephmitchell8836]

How do these effect flavor? I'm trying to naturally dye Macarons and even small amounts of flavor with have an effect.

[@kimballcrocferd9988]

can you use them to make colour inks ?

[@joynhands]

You can! I make natural inks too. You can add in other ingredients to the vegetable dyes, like binder (gum arabic, shellac etc.), or modifiers to change the base colour, preservatives, to make it into ink for use with brushes or dip pens. If you are using them for fountain pens though, you need to check if the inks will be corrosive, stain your nib etc - so there are many factors to consider.
