    What is your water ratio? I'm not following how much water you're adding to any of your components...

    So I tried with a part of the ingredients and unfortunately, something went wrong. My dye looks more blue than yellow/green. When I added the wool for about 15 minutes it came out blue, not yellow and then turned blue (the temperature of the vat was 40C). The blue also seems grayer, less vibrant. I added a bit of extra lime and fructose and left it overnight, but no difference is visible. Do you have any advise on what went wrong, to learn from for the next time. And maybe any advise to activate this vat so I can still use it?

    That means there was too much oxygen in the vat, meaning the sugar didn't work enough

    Can anyone explain this process? Is the indigo being broken down over time by natural process? I mean kind of like tobacco we’re it gets better with age as bacteria break down the tobacco.

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'being broken down' the indigo starts in a reduced solution i.e. a liquid where oxygen has been removed, the dye pigment is created when the fabric is oxygenated to create a permanent dye.

    If I wanted to make a solution in a big plastic bucket so I could dye larger pieces of fabric..how much water would I need to add to the mother solution please?

  • @TheWildDyery

    @TheWildDyery

    how much water you add depends on how big your fabric is. You need to adjust the concentration of the vat by adding more mother solutions to suit.

    Do you use LIME or Lye? Some people think you are using the LIME here in the recipe.

    If you are going to make a video, measurements would be nice, you are forcing people to buy from you. Not many people in the craft industry appreciate that, most are generous with their information.

    She's giving instructions on how to set up a vat from her kit. If you'd like measurements, surely you can find information on this somewhere else. It's called a 1-2-3 dye vat.
