I'd LOVE to see someone skilled in dyeing floss, too! I've wanted to try dyeing my own fabric and floss, but I've always been too scared. Priscilla and Chelsea know everything about cross-stitching! They are amazing!

Thank you. I have never dyed anything before. You made it not scary. Thank you.

I finally dyed some fabric! Thanks for the tutorial. It was helpful. Wasn’t hard at all. Your instructions are great.

Great video on color dyeing your fabric. It always helps to have a visual demonstration. Thank you Kimberly for being willing to video yourself using the same technique.

Love the deep aqua

Priscilla takes the fear out of dyeing fabric. I'm excited to try it myself. Thank you, ladies. Have fun at the Anabella's retreat. 🌷🌷

It’s such a privilege to see the creativity of Kimberley, Priscilla and Chelsea. Thank you.

Thank you ladies for the great tutorial. I think Kimberly ‘s life is full enough-she does not need to cook on top of everything else she does for us and the community.❤

Yes liked seeing the fabric choices and the floss toss for different patterns. Thank you!

Great to see the dying right in your own kitchens. Made it look simpler and be more like I might even try to do it. Thanks have a great day!

I love dyeing my own fabric. I use string to tie up bunches of fabric while it's soaking for resist dyeing and iron it after rinsing clean to set the dye.

This was great! I have watched their dying videos before but it was really helpful having questions asked & answered and having Kimberly, a 1st timer, actually do it.

After watching this video, I am planning to try it.

The salt helps to set the dye. When I was a teenager you would wash your new blue jeans in the machine with salt water to set the blue denim. I'm excited to dye some fabric for my cross stitch. Thank you Priscilla, Chelsea and Kimberly for this great tutorial ❤

Enjoyed the replay. Seems like her Rit dying method is more colorfast than some commercial fabrics. TFS.

Great job Kimberly! I’ve been leery of trying to dye fabric myself but after watching Priscilla I definitely feel much more confident to try. Thank you for the great video.

Salt is a mordant. It causes the the dye to fix itself to the fiber. It increases the the vibrancy and longevity of the color.

Oh my seeing Kimberly in her kitchen seemed so foreign and cute! Great tutorial Pricilla and Chelsea!

Just finished my first dyeing of fabric. The video was awesome. I had fun and no fear. Thank you all so much

OMG I love how you have them displayed! I am brand new to cross stitch!

I really enjoyed learning about this technique in hand dyeing

My favorite FlossTube video ever! Thank you for this great tutorial.

This was so wonderful .Am going to have to give it a try. Loved seeing you both in your beautiful kitchens. Really like the pink.

Very helpful and informative! I’ll definitely be dying some fabric for my next project. Thank you Kimberly, Pricilla and Chelsea!

Thanks Kimberly, Priscilla and Chelsea for the lesson on dying fabric. Very interesting. I missed seeing Piper!!

Fun times! Definitely going to try a blue and the apple green. Why wait!?❤

I may have to try this. It doesn't look so scary now. Thanks for the tutorial!

I love the pink. I can’t wait to try it. What a fun way to customize our work.

Thank you, it was fun watching you all.

Thanks so much for this video I've always wondered how to dye cross stitch fabric really enjoyed this can't wait for next video....

This was so great, I have Monaco, now I need to head out to grab some dye, instant coffee, and pans. You three made it look so easy. Thanks so much! Janine

Love it. Can’t wait to try dyeing cloth! ❤🙌🏻

This was wonderful!! Off to dye my fabric!!

I had so much fun watching this. I have been to scared to try but it was great watching and being able to ask questions. Thank you all for sharing. 🎃

Kimberly, I'm drooling over your oven 🤩

Thank you for showing how to dye fabric. I use Aida 14 count mostly. Thank you again for the Rite Dye for showing us..

Thank you so much! I already bought some Rit Dye in Pearl Gray and can't wait to try it. Love the pink rubber gloves!

Thank you all. I learned a lot today!!

Thank you Kimberely and Priscilla & Chelsea. Great Job.

I am so excited to give this a try now! Thanks so much ladies!! ❤

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have been wanting to hand dye my fabric for a while and even bought everything to do it but felt intimidated by the process. Following these easy steps I just completed two dyed pieces and love them! It was so easy! Thank you again ❤

Liked the video😊 ladies❤. When I dye my fabrics I hang it and then when it’s dry I use my iron and have had no problems of the floss catching any of the color from my dyed piece. It’s a fun way to try different colors and cheaper when your on a budget too😊

That’s exactly what I do also! No need for the oven at all.

Very educational ladies I don’t feel as intimidated now and may try to dye my own fabric. Thank you!!!

Wow you all made this look so easy!! I am ready to try it now ❤

Woo hoo Kimberly! Looks great! I do like the pink for a change.

This was a great video. The first thing I ever dyed was some fiddlers Aida and I just coffee tea dyed it according to P & C. And I love the affect on the it. I must try Ritz dye.

Thank you for doing this video! 🎉

Thanks for the great lesson on dyeing!

Loved this Dyeing FlossTube!

Thanks everyone! I’ll try it 🤞🏼. Great video and tips.

Great tutorial !

Thank you for this video. You all made it look do-able! 😊⚘️

Love the pink.

Thank you ladies, very helpful😊

Great tutorial! I learned so much 😊

All of you guys are beautiful inside and out. This was a fun one to watch....while I am working. SHHHHHH.

Kimberly, you are adorable how you don’t want to eat your hands icky. I love watching you. I just may try this.

Great video! Thank you so much!!❤❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the tutorial on this!!

You make it seem so easy!

Good morning from Idaho my first live !!

Thank you everyone❤❤

Love the colors, so pretty! Weeks Dye Works floss is colorfast. It says it on the back and I’ve tested it, but I still don’t wash my cross stitch! Thanks for all the info. ladies!

I am going to try this. This videongave me the courage. Thank you

Great video! Thank you! ❤

I love seeing the Housewives on here. ❤

Loved this episode and very informative…

Awesome video ladies. I’m going to try it. 👍🏻

Loved the video. Thankyou!

Interesting show....very informative!

I enjoyed the video on dyeing colors. I've coffee tea dyed but never colors. I think I can do that !!!!

Purple dyed for Halloween would be fabulous

Salt makes the water soft like when you use a water softener for your home water system. Dyed fabric gets lighter when it is dry.

Excellent tutorial thank you!

Great video thanks ♥️♥️♥️

I used cranberry juice to dye some Aida and it looks identical to this color pink. Love using natural dying elements from my kitchen...beet juice works but the color doesn't hold despite using salt, which yes, is important to set the color.

Good job Kimberly

Fun!

9x13 pan

Salt sets the dye!!! It's on the back of the dye bottle!

I wasn’t successful on my first try at dying fabric. I am so thankful for this video I will try this afternoon

@@lisablatt7287 Thank you! I appreciate your response!

With Procion dye, the darker the color, the more salt you use to get deeper color. So salt quantity does matter. What you are doing is fine for your purposes. The puddling of dye on the bottom of the pan makes the blotches. when you turn it the puddles move and you loose the blotches. Your color will be smooth.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…😃

I think I have defective aquamarine it always comes out purple. So can I heat set by ironing? I almost burned a coffee tea piece, omg. But it's fun.

Salt is a mordant used to set the dye.

This was a great video! Do you iron when it’s dry?? I have to do this!! I want a darker brown :)

Hello Pat! Yes, you can iron it once it's dry.

Lovely video Ladies . I am going to try dying my Aida fabrics. Just wondering do you coffee and tea dye before Rit dying or is it after the Rit dying.

Hello Pat! Yes, you can use the same process.

Apple green is very nice

FYI, weeks dye works states that their over dye is now colorfast so it can be washed.

Can you use Ritz colour remover and do the reverse to take out a bit of the original fabric colour and have a slightly lighter mottled look?🧑🏻‍🦰😊

Hello Marilyn! We have not tried using Ritz.

How long do you let it sit in the dye before rinsing

@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669

2 - 5 minutes, SWTH

I have never had a problem with overdyed floss or fabric washing it after I’m done with stitching. I put vinegar in the water and no dye comes from floss or fabric when washing it. I never frame or finish my stitching with out washing it first . I don’t want oil stains from handling it why stitching it to remain on it once it is finished. I don’t want it to end up becoming deteriorated after all that work.

Can you use Adia cloth I can only due 14 count

Will Rit dye work on Tula fabric? It is 60% rayon & 40% cotton. Your video was extremely helpful.

@FatQuarterShopFlossTube

Hello Mary! We have not tried it on Tula fabric but you could try it with a small piece of fabric.

The salt acts as a mordant. It helps fix the dye to the fabric.

Does it have to be a glass pan or will plastic work?

Hello Sue! As long as it's oven safe and the pan won't dye.
