Shalom, this is absolutely beautiful ! In the law (Torah) of God, we have a commandment : that of putting a blue thread called “Tekhelet” in our tassels (Tzitzit) Numbers 15:37-41 The Torah commands us to put a simple blue thread in the tzitzits, without adding traditions or customs. Furthermore, according to the Talmud, the blue thread Tekhelet must be made from the blood of an impure snail called "Chilazon", yet according to the Torah there is no specification on the dye, and the snail is unclean and abominable according to the Torah since only fish that have scales and fins are clean (Leviticus 11:9, Deuteronomy 14:9), but all fish that do not have scales or fins are unclean and abominable, and we We must not touch their dead bodies (Leviticus 11:10-12, Deuteronomy 14:10), while snails and octopuses like cuttlefish are impure and abominable according to the Torah! Hashem says : "When someone, without realizing it, touches a polluted thing, such as the corpse of an impure animal, whether of a wild or domestic animal, or of a reptile, he himself will become impure and he will be guilty" (Léviticus 5:2), also: “that you may be able to distinguish what is holy from what is profane, and what is impure from what is pure” (Leviticus 10:10), and : "whoever carries their dead bodies shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. You will regard them as impure.” (Leviticus 11:28) Therefore the Hilazon is impure and abominable according to the Torah, just like the Radzyn Techeiles! The original dye for tekhelet blue is woad, a pure plant according to the Torah. Evidence of Woad has been found in ancient Egyptian fabrics, an ancient tassel in Qumran and as far back as the Neolithic times Israeli archaeologists have found fabrics dating back 3000 years in Timna, and in these fabrics, there are vegetable dyes such as woad and madder! In reality, Tekhelet, Argaman and Tola'at Shani are not animal dyes, but vegetable dyes! The woad made the Tekhelet, the madder made the Tola'at Shani, and when you mix a woad-dyed fabric in a madder dye, it makes purple, since blue and red give purple! What is the most telling is that it is mentioned in the Mishna that a Rabbinic decree regarding a kohen whose hands have been stained with Isatis Tinctoria or Woad was made: 'A priest whose hands are deformed, may not raise his (hand) palms (to bless the people). R Yehudah says: "even those whose hands are stained with Woad may not raise their (hand) palms, because the people stare at him" (Mishnah, Megillah, 4:7). So here, all along, was evidence that the Kohanim worked with Woad. The only way for hands to be stained with Woad is to have them submerged into the bright yellow solution and upon removing, the oxygen in the air turns the yellow to a bright blue, bonding permanently onto the hands. Woad, being that it was readily available and from a prolific plant, would have made it affordable for all of the Israelite people. Indigo was not available or imported till the Greek and Roman times and then was a limited, luxury product, so was not available to the Israelite people. Cuttlefish, Janthina and Murex Trunculus are all expensive because they are found in limited quantities and it takes many creatures to make a very small amount of dye. This would have made it impossible for all of the Israelites to be able to afford, let alone have enough available for purchase. Also the new information that the Murex snail couldn't have even produced a blue dye until the invention of clear glass made it unavailable at that time. Clear glass was essential to expose this dye to ultraviolet light, to allow the Murex dye to turn blue. Alas, clear glass was not realized until about 100CE. Wikipedia says; "With the discovery of clear glass (through the introduction of manganese dioxide), by glass blowers in Alexandria circa 100 AD"... The last thought I'd like to leave you with is that if the Murex snail dye did not give a blue in ancient times, then the archeological finds of blue indigo, earlier that 100CE can never be attributed to the Murex indigo dye! So, the true source of Tekhelet is the woad ! it was a little knowledge that I wanted to pass on to you 😊 Shalom ouvrakha (Peace and Blessing to you) in the name of the Lord Yeshua Imanuel Hamashia'h Ben HaElohim (Jesus Emanuel the true Messiah, son of God).
Fantastic video! Just so that I understand, first you add soda to change the ph-level, and then you add sodium dithionate?? So I need 2 different things to add to the dye bath? Great video!
@@Rikupetteripasanen Hello! What *kind* of soda is needed before the sodium dithionate? Pot ash? Baking soda/Bicarbonate? Thank you in advance for any reply. Ps. Is it possible to use anything other than sodium dithionate later? Such as alum, pot ash, etc. Extra thank you for answer to this, too! Ds.
The Swan River runs through Perth, Western Australia, but dyers' woad is prohibited in WA as an invasive weed. I'm curious what's really going on here.
That's not the only river in the world with that name, they may have just named their channel that because they liked the name instead of it being tied to the name of a landmark at their location, and they seem to be Finnish, given the names of some of their videos, the newspapers, etc. Why the immediate jump to suspicion?
Mervi here - I usually use the vat to the last breath - woad does not have much dye compared to indigo. But woad vat can be stored before dyeing with it. Jenny Deans blog Wild colous is a wonderful source of knowledge on these matters.
Mervi here _ plant dyes always fade a bin in sun and can bleed in wash but colour bleeding is not a problem with woad dyes - according to my experience :D

I'm glad there's a method that doesn't require pee.
Thank you! I followed your instructions exactly and made some beautiful blue wool yarn and a cotton T-shirt!
The BEST video on working with woad. I did this today but couldnt get it to turn blue and then realised I needed the soda. Thank you x
did you tried to pee in the pot?
Beautiful video! It's taken 2 years but my woad is finally growing! I'm so excited to do this. Thank you!
Vibing with the music choice :)
I can't stop watching this! It's magic.
So fascinating to see the color change from green to blue!
I ordered my Woad seeds last week for my dye garden, can't wait to try this once I have plants :)
Thank you for sharing this! I must have a go at doing this myself! I'm feeling very encouraged!
AWESOME. I'm definitely putting woad in my garden.
Super video with super music!Please more films about natural dyeing!
That is a really fine example of fast oxidation!
Thank you for sharing this. It looks great.
Great score music. Thought she must be from Stroud TIL l saw the Suomi newspaper
Brilliant demonstration, thankyou : )

Hi Hanna! Yes you got it right. Two things needes. Glad you liked our film 😀
Do you add it, then wait 40 minutes or the other way around? I’m trying to dye my yarn this weekend and I don’t want to mess up 😂

Soda Ash or just baking soda?
what is the red color at the end?
I was wondering that too. If this dyer is focusing on Viking age dyes it might be madder.
incredible
What mordant do you use for woad on cotton? Alum or not needed any mordant? And how much soda ash?
Love this video thank you so much for sharing! 💙💙💙 Can this method be used on others materials like cotton and silk as well?
Such a magical video! I wondered if you could bottle the end result and use it again?

@@Rikupetteripasanen thankyou, I'll have a look xxx
Will wode turn home made soap blue, or is the Ph all wrong for that?
Great video! So much helpful information. Could you share what temperature the hot water should be before it is poured over the fresh leaves (1:39)?
other sources say just under boiling, so 80-90 celcius...
I was wondering: the soda you use, is it baking soda or regular cleaning soda?
washing soda.
how well does the color last through hand washes with gentle soap? considering dying clothing
Mervi here _ plant dyes always fade a bin in sun and can bleed in wash but colour bleeding is not a problem with woad dyes - according to my experience :D
is there a substitute instead of Sodium dithionite?
Fermented urine ( pee ) 🙂
@@Rikupetteripasanen would pure ammonia work?
Does the sodium dithionate deoxygenate the dye in place of the urine method?
Yes it does :)
@@Rikupetteripasanen would pure ammonia do the same?
What is the name of the first tune?
I dont remember. Some lisens free music. Do you like it :)
