#dyeing — Public Fediverse posts

Oooh, kickstarter for a new PNW wild dye book by a very cool dyer I have followed for several years. She does some beautiful and rare dye techniques-- purples and blues from lichens and fungus, dyes that change colour in sunlight, etc. (Book has a big ole ethics section, as you should expect with foraging and especially lichens.)

Happy Friday from Japan!

Today's post on my leaflet.pub blog is a throwback to May 2014 in Kyoto, when my wife and I got a chance to try our hands at Roketsuzome, a traditional Japanese wax-resist textile dyeing technique.

Commercial dye most certainly works. The other sheet also has a cool pattern. The only problem now is I feel like sheets are too fancy for their original use, which was in the garden to cover up plants on cold nights 🤣 I feel like I should make them into something now. #dyeing #diy

After rinsing and then a hand wash in a mild detergent. Tbd how much of this will stick after an actual machine wash. This is the wet color, could be much lighter dry. #dyeing #diy

Also had another sheet, yellow. Threw that in just for fun. #dyeing #diy

In went the pole wrapped polyester shirt, and the dye baby monster. #dyeing #diy

Took a mid day break from work. #dyeing #diy

Making a monster, preparing to dip the Frankenbaby in dye later today. (Ditty DIY dye dyeing) #dyeing #diy #dye

Shirt on a stick. But, need to get some dye. Will do that later. #dyeing #diy

Since I am here, going to toss some other stuff in the dye. I have a couple of garage sale sheets I was using to cover plants in winter. Let's dye those too! #dyeing #diy

Soaked the shirt overnight in Simple Green, and making polyester shirt stew with soda ash. It's whiter than it has been in years 🤔#dyeing #diy

Okay, looks like I'me going to attempt a Japanese "Arashi" pattern, lol. The dye company claims you can do this with polyester, with their polyster-specific dye.

The dyeing didn’t work out well in the end. I was hoping for a nice soft terracotta colour and got something like raw spaghetti. Doesn’t matter though, it was fun trying. #nixos #spinning #dyeing

I like weekends where my hobbies include: 1) things that are thousands of years old and 2) things from this century. 1) was trying to dye my handspun yarn with eucalyptus leaves and 2) setting up a really nice kitty terminal config on NixOS.

The internet tells me that there is a book called “Natural dyes for education and colour experimentation”, targeting educational and artistic users, that can be downloaded (licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) and looks quite interesting:

Washed some #wool and now I'm doing some #dyeing experiments in my new ServIT...

I've been busy combing the mohair fleece I dyed.

My hands are hurting!

When I started my experiments in dyeing with Procion MX, I didn’t realise there was a pure purple available (Violet MX-G, aka Violet 14). It’s a pretty decent purple on its own, but also combines very nicely with cobalt blue in low-water immersion.

Aside for non-dyers: the pure dyes are those whose colour comes from a single molecule, so they won’t split into different colours like the dyes that are made by mixing different pure dyes. Sometimes you want this (e.g. it makes it easier to get a flat colour with no variation), sometimes you don’t (split colours look nice).

So the past few days, I've taken to wearing a blanket around my shoulders to be a bit warmer. It's a old army cream-coloured wool one, and I've just found a penannular brooch to pin it with instead of relying on a bulldog clip.
So now I'm wondering about refining the thing into an actual woollen cloak. Does anyone within boost range know about dying, making-fast, and/or waterproofing wool? Quantities for a 64x80in wool sheet?

Oh my eyes! 🙈 SO. BRIGHT. 😜

Got some #wool going in a mixed dye pot. Can't wait to see what colors come out! 😆🤪 #Dyeing

The many uses of Broomcorn (Sorghum): "..In Nigeria, the pulverized red leaf-sheaths of sorghum have been used to dye leather, while in Algeria, sorghum has been used to dye wool. In India, the panicle stalks are used as bristles for brooms."
