Some vegetable dyes I came across. Orange - Carrot (More vibrant than adding red + yellow) Green - Spinach (Much more consistent than adding yellow + blue) Brown - Tea Bags

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.
That was so funny, he looked so happy eating the all the things instead of using the vegetables for coloring, great synergy between you two!

I've just used the last of the brambles in the garden to dye some calico cotton for a junk journal project I'm starting. Beautiful results and also used elastic bands to make decorations
Being designer I tried this with fabric and it works sooo cool just perfect
I wasn’t expecting you to dye food. I thought you’d be demoing it on clothes or something. I wonder if this natural dye would stain woods.
Wow! Cool idea, thanks for sharing 😊
I actually jumped at the fire explosion.. i was so focused on the water changing colour, the fire burnt my eyebrows off. Was not expecting that 😂 😂😂 i will be suggesting these baby friendly fabric dyes to my son's childcare centre, for tie dye shirt day. Thanks heaps ❤
Sounds like you guys are eating some of these veggies fresh for the first time. These happen to be some of the healthiest veggies available. I hope you incorporate them into you normal diet. My go-to salad is loaded with shredded purple cabbage and grated with turmeric on top. Delicious and nutritious!
Thankyou so much for this video. I'm looking at Dunn these now for naturally dyed fabrics to develop eco freindly pieces.

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?
Nice and natural

@joynhands
Жыл бұрын
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.
Wowww
TURMERIC rhymes with 'fur' rather than 'tumor'. Nice idea with the cabbage. Thank you!
The whole comment section are pinterest moms
Can also use purple carrot water
Wow! So cool
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?
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.

Thank you guys!
I am wondering if I could use it to dye my hair
What if you cook pasta in colored liquid from the very beginning without pre-cooking? Will it work?
Amazing. Can this be used for a wood stain? Maybe mixed with some kerosene and painted on?
How many minutes do you have to boil them
Can this dye be used for clothes?
I was looking for a way to die fabric and when I saw the thumbnail, I assumed that you guys were dying yarn. So when y’all started talking about pasta, I got so confused 🤣
Hmmm.. I may try on old fabric
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.
Can I dye fabric with this?

How can I fix this colour for long days. Could I use Alum after dye?
Can we tie dye clothes and stuff with these??? It would be terrible right??

Does it leave the taste of vegetables?

the red cabbage doesn't turn blue for " the reaction with the acid", is has some molecules, the antocianine, that reacts and changes colour based on the pH Saying that the original purple is from a pH=7, so a neutral one, it turns reddish with lower/acid pH and blue with higher/basic pH

I'm an Italian who lives in Italy, so, I don't have a great culture about what colonials used to do, Ammonia is still something you should need to buy and can be pretty harmful to play with, is also more difficult to dose than a solid like baking soda, which is also pretty harmless I found that chamber lye should be the procedure of putting ashes in a bath to obtain a basic solution? Cause, in that case, I wouldn't recommend it either, the water in that case can become very basic and caustic again, here the grandmas did it to make soap, but they knew the techniques to do it and their hands were bad, I wouldn't suggest to do it or To make a video like everyone could do it alone at home, expecially just for a blue ink, were baking soda could be used Ah, pee contains urea, that can form a mild basic solution

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

@@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!
How do you deal with the smell that may come?
Okay i knew cabage was purple then turned blue. But I had no Idea it could also turn red!!!

@joynhands
Жыл бұрын
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.
Can we swap out the three cups of water for 3 cups of oil? Like for candles?
@joynhands
Жыл бұрын
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.

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??
