Beautiful!!! The color is so deep and rich!@

Maravilhoso efeito!👏🏽👏🏽 Obrigada por compartilhar!

Thank you for the comment! I add the colors to wet silk or the newly added color creates hard edges rather than blending with the prior color.

Beautiful. Thanks for showing the process. Hello from a Vermonter.

Thank you! I live in GA now but am originally from Portsmouth NH. I love it up there.

thank you for uploading!

nice what kind of rope do you use? thank you, greetings from Switzerland

Very inspiring video, thank you. May I please ask, before you added the green colour (the third stage), did you wet the the fabric on the tube, like you did before you added the blue colour (the second stage)?

I love your scarf and the colors, but I have few questions, what dye exactly do you use and how do you steam it - over a boiling pot? and how long do you steam it for? how do you wash it with soap and water still on the pipe?

Thank you! I use both Jacquard and DuPont dyes. I steam the scarf in a homemade steamer using a vent pipe from the hardware store. I place it in a large pot and steam for 3 hours. Once steamed, I wash it on the pole and let it fully dry before I remove it.

just nice

Woow

Gracias por ponerlo en español!!

Thx! Few questions..I've done on cotton and rayon I wove plain weave and twill, very fine and used same method but no drying in between. I let it rest 24 hrs, wrapped in plastic, and washed out I think. No drying in-between.didnt steam I don't think

Thanks! Different dyes have different requirements for setting the colors. It might be that you used a different dye. I will need to try other methods.

Hi! Your piece turned out beautiful! I used to use Jacquard Red Label Silk Dyes (I use DuPont Silk Dyes now) which turned out fine. The Jacquard Green Label Silk Dyes can be both steamed and chemically set (I'm sure you know all of this🙂). The Red Label has a deeper and more vibrant color once steamed. I did not get the same for the Green Label Dyes. Which Dyes are you using? I'm so happy I found your channel! I've subscribed 🙂 🙃 🙂

Thank you so much! I also use DuPont and Jacquard Red label. It depends on what I am working on at the time. I hope to get some new videos up soon.

What sort of cord do you use to wrap around the silk? It looks very shiny like it might be a nylon or synthetic cord, but I would have thought that would slip, so wonder if I'm wrong. Thank you!

Thanks for the question. I have tried a lot of different cords, both natural fiber and synthetic. I find synthetic works best for me. I believe the cord I used for this scarf is a thin nylon Parachute Cord that I buy at Michaels. It is in the jewelry making supplies.

nice work! I wonder how to make the crinckle permanent?

Thank you! The pleats will stay in if you dry clean it. If you hand wash it they will come out or become softer.

Which threads have you used to tie the scarf fabric to the pole

Thanks for the question. I used paracord on this one, but different cords/rope produce different effects.

Hi, do you let completely to dry between colors when you bring inside to dry under the air conditioner?

Hello. I let the base coat fully dry and then wrap the scarf. All the other colors are put on at the same time in layers and then I let it dry. Hope this helps.

Have you tried making layered colours, for example inside the folds would be a lighter colour like yellow, and the outer parts would be blue? I am very interested in learning how to do this, but can't find any tutorials for it.

Hi. I have done that and basically used the same process when it is a light base color and a darker second color. There is a process for wrapping the scarf then removing the top color with a chemical and then dying it again with another color but I have not done that yet.

Thanks for the question. I made a steamer using ductwork and a large kettle. I hope to make a video of the steaming process in the near future.
