HI Susan, I noticed the silk was wet? Did you clean these with Synthrapol first?

@Susancorbinart

2 жыл бұрын

No, I just wet it. This fine silk is very absorbant and soaks up the dye easily.

Thank you for a great demonstration. What is the size of scarf you make and where do you buy your fabric from? Will the colors sold at Walmart as a 18 color kit work ? Thank you for your time

Go to dharma trading online. I use their fiber reactive dyes with the cold water method. Generally You can’t get thes get these dyes retail.

These are beautiful! Can I use the same process on 100% cotton scarves?

@Susancorbinart

You can but you may have to use a slightly different dye recipe and timing for cotton. Go to dharmatrading.com and check out their instructions for tie dyeing with fibre reactive dyes. That would work with the process in the video even though no ties are used. They have excellent instructions and all the supplies you could ever need!

Hi! Lovely scarves. You mentioned working with the scarves "damp" - is that damp with water or alcohol?

Damp with water - I wet the silk then roll it in a towel to remove the excess water.

These particular dyes don’t need vinegar. It never hurts to add vinegar to the rinse though.

hey if I'm using satin fabric... is it the same process? if not, please tell me the process pleeeeaaase

@Susancorbinart

The stripe technique won’t work as well because the fabric is much thicker and the dye won’t go through all those layers. it may work with say, 2 or 3 layers. There is a second technique where you scrunch up the fabric to put the dye on. the result is a bit different, but at least you can make sure the dye gets everywhere. It’s in my video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6mgvKagZsmzaJs.html. Also make sure your satin is actually silk and not polyester!

What kind of dye are you using please?

How to mix dye

I tried this recipe and the dye does not stay very well. I tried soaking it in salt water for a while longer and it still is bleeding. The towel that I used to iron on is now dyed and so are my hands. Do you have this problem?

@bonniepiehler693

Just realize the salt I used was kosher salt with no iodine not pickling salt. I will get some pickling salt and try again.

@@bonniepiehler693 soak your silks in a baking soda / water solution for 15 minutes prior to dying. Procion Dyes require a basic solution to bind to the fabric. Normally you would use soda ash but soda ash is caustic to silk and will ruin the fabric or at the very least reduce it's luster. Silk is the hardest fabric to dye with Procion fiber reactive dyes as protein fibers usually need an acidic solution to be color fast.

So sorry to be late with this reply . Hopefully you mean the recipe given in my other video about how to mix the dyes. Once you’re finished dyeing, cover the trays with plastic and leave to set for at least 6 hours. I try to leave mine overnight - the longer the better. Rinsing is important - rinse once in cold water. Then squeeze the scarf out and let sit in a basin of warm water for at least 20 minutes or so. Then rinse quickly in clean warm water and if colour is still coming out, put in a basin of hot water with 1/4 cup of vinegar for 5-10 minutes. This will fix the colours well. Do note that you will see a lot of dye rinse away - this is because the silk is sitting in a pool of dye - what runs away is simply the dye that isn’t fixed to the fabric. I did put some of this info in my description above, but apologies for not being more thorough about the rinsing!

Thanks so much for letting me know! The address is correct, but youtube has some new requirement to verify your website and I had no idea until I checked to see what was wrong. The process is to complicated for me, but just typing the website address into your browser works fine.

Just want to clarify... You don't use soda ash with the silk and mx dyes just salt? I was taught to use soda ash with silk. (not other protein fibers.)

I have used sofa ash, but it turns out with this technique it’s not necessary. The time and warmth are important for setting. It’s just as well because sod’s ash is hard on the silk fibre.

Are they washable after they are dried? What do you add so the colors don’t get washed out?

@Susancorbinart

6 ай бұрын

There is nothing added to fix the dyes - it is the time (minimum 6 hours) and keeping the scarves damp by covering in plastic that fixes the dyes. Then they have to be rinsed to remove excess dye- then they can be washed in warm water any time.
