I'd love to hear how it works for you. What type of fiber are you dyeing?

I work at Michaels, and I’ve wondered if I can use Rit to dye hand spun yarn. Do you know?
@TextileIndie Жыл бұрын
Sure, the dye works best on natural fibers - cotton and wool. I believe Rit also has a dye for synthetics but I haven't used it - and I assume you're spinning natural fibers. Have fun experimenting!

Can you use dye remover to fade a black shirt?
@144Souldier13 күн бұрын
Another question? If you use dye remover can you swirl for less than 20 mins to get fade look?
@TextileIndie8 күн бұрын
Yes, according to the Rit Dye website you can. I do have some hesitations though, some black dye could turn into a rusty color. If you've ever dripped bleach on a dark fabric you'll know the color I mean. And it could damage the fabric - or at least weaken it. My best tip is to try it on a bit of the shirt that won't show. Maybe take a q-tip and dab some on an inside seam???

That is hard to answer - it depends on the original dye, the fabric, etc. This project will definitely fall in the dye experiment category. Please come back and let me know how it works.

Hi! I am a new subscriber to your channel. I have a question. Is it possible to use Alum mordant and Salt as a fixative for dyeing cotton fabric with red cabbage?? I have an important research experiment to conduct this summer. I hope to get some advice from professional dyers or those who have been dyeing and experimenting with natural dyes for a long time. Hoping that you will respond to my question. Thank you so much! Much appreciated

Hi there! Here's a tutorial I did on preparing plant fibers like cotton for natural dyeing. You can use alum acetate and wheat bran. Red cabbage has a tendency to fade quickly when washed or exposed to light, even with a mordant. If you want the color to last maybe choose a dye material that has a longer lifespan like Madder or cochineal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKrdYqWioNtshKs
