Found your video one day and ordered the dyes and as of today I dyed my first batch of rope! Can’t wait to make a bowl or two out of it. Liked the process.

@@clairemccoy5502 oh my goodness!! I’m so glad you saw my video. It’s really addicting!! I put mine away to get some other projects done but I’m feeling the itch to start dying again!!!

Throw some fabric to be dyed in the bucket under the mesh to catch the "drippings", it is called "muck dyeing". Otherwise there is a lot of wasted dye from this method.

Great idea!! Last time I did this I threw in a vintage doily to see what would happen. It came out a very mottled color but I liked it!!

How nice of you to share this! I am thinking placemats would be fun!

I love that idea!!

13:59 soda ash added. I believe it sets the color. Look up mordants. Last summer I was dying with natural fibers. I really liked carrot tops and red cabage and black beans. For mordants we used rusty railroad ties or nails, alum. I'd like to try the carrot tops again. I read one lady left her dye pot outside and it froze😮 giving her -shattered glass effect. I also dyed crochet cotton grey. It wasn't the best but I think I will use it in the bobbin or for slow stitching, kantha quilting, It would go well coordinated with navy or burgundy. Oh I've just been inspired. Thank you. Have fun!!!! Everyone!!!😊😊

Very interesting process - Thanks so much for the video - will have to give this a try. Love how you dried it on the fence !

Serendipity that I stumbled upon this video this morning… I just happen to have the dyes already…. I only need a dish drainer and some rope! I can’t wait to see your video on how you make your bowls. 💕

Have fun dying your rope. Hopefully I’ll get video filmed soon on making the bowls!!

Thank you, Jane, for the great video! I will have to try this. I have crockpot dyed wool yarn with Kool-Aid for several projects and I made a jelly roll mat from scraps left from a quilt plus I did some ice dyed fabric and shirts but I haven't dyed any cotton rope and twine. I have been wanting to try some coiled rope or twine projects. This looks like a fun combination of both techniques.

Gorgeous baskets!!!! I am wondering how this dye is different than RIT dye??

@JaneHauprich

This is a powder that soaks into the rope as the ice melts. This is a fiber reactive dye that is used in ice dying process on fabric.

Thank you for your tutorial! I've been an ice dyer for awhile, but this is the first time I'm ice dyeing rope, so I look forward to seeing how it comes out. Question: do you use Synthrapol or Blue Dawn to set the dyes after rinse out? I'm going to try Synthrapol when I wash mine, to prevent back bleeding.

@JaneHauprich

I didn’t use anything. lol!! I rinsed the rope out really well, which took quite a bit of time. Then let it dry over a fence in the sunlight. I was in too big of a hurry to start stitching, I guess!! If I were to do it again then I’d probably use synthrapol as I’ve got a bunch of it. 😁😁

@@JaneHauprich I think once I rinse mine I'll swish it out in a bucket of water with some synthrapol, just to be sure it doesn't back bleed during usage. I hope mine comes out as bright and colorful as yours!

I guess you could? It’s sort of a muddled mess…lol!! I did let a vintage linen sit in the bottom to see how it would turn out and it came out ok. So far, I’ve thrown it out.

Best tutorial, How much ice did you use?

So. . . at what point did you use the soda ash? If your rope was pre soaked in a water and soda ash bath your colors may have been brighter? You probably could have soaked the entire package of rope as it came from the hardware store, let it sit, soak and take some time(day+) to dry, then unwind and roll into a ball. Being the rope is cotton, a natural fiber I think your colors would have been brighter. . . otherwise what is the purpose of the soda ash? Thanks , your set up was great!

@JaneHauprich

7 ай бұрын

I sprinkled the soda ash on as the last step after the ice and dye. My purpose in the soda ash was how I learned to ice dye. It’s supposed to stabilize the colors. The colors are actually very vibrant and turned out just how I had hoped. I did not soak my rope first. I may try that next time but so far have loved all the ropes that I’ve dyed. My grandkids just did shirts using this exact method (except I wet the shirts first) and they turned out great too. Thanks for watching and the comments. I appreciate that!!

Just one thing you should be aware of…..most rope from the hardware store has a polyester core that might melt if you make a trivet and set a very hot dish on it.
