Hi Emma, brilliant video TFS. I live not far from you and it is lovely to see local people on TH-cam. My question as a newbie to natural wool dyeing/spinner is what percentage of dried material to wool should be used? Thanks again for sharing XX
Really really great video! thank you! I would love to know what % of cream of tartar you use for the mordant (you said a "dash" but I'm not sure how much it is per Grams of dried wool). thank you once again for this great video!
I recently discovered a kettle that may be copper and may be bronze turns purple cabbage dye LUMINOUS purple. But turns into a misty pale green when exposed to baking soda. I had enough excess to measure some out for experimentation. Yellow is far too easy to get I'm afraid. I don't need to buy fustic or weld.
Please note that purple cabbage is not a dye, the colour will not remain. Please colour test properly, for light and wash fastness. Also you can get many yellows but again most of them are fugitive. Worth researching first, so many good books out there that can help…
@@clothatelier3562 i know, one of them is overdue at the library and a good half of the recipes in it call for chrome. A lot of my cabbage dyed yarn doesn't seem to be fading by much in the jars. But I also use a lot of alum and a lot of baking soda. The latter of which turns it blue. i'd rather use dyes I don't have to order from tropical countries that could be exploited by american companies and not know. besides being on disability and having a limited budget, I can only learn a skill like this by truly testing the dyes out, which means making that purple cabbage dye and learning what makes it fade and what doesn't. btw, I tried rhododendron and iron supplements and hooo boy, i got a really really strong moss or khaki green. I'd rather it be brighter, but this was some pretty potent dye. I could probably tiedye with this no problem.
Turks used madder in such a way British agents try to steal its formula for a long time.. 😅 When we paint with madder it become reddest red you can ever see... It used to take them 40 days and 38 diffrent progcess...
You know Turkey is not where madder comes from? And there are different kinds of madder. Indian, European and Japanese madders. And Asia has been dying silk, cotton and linen with madders longer than Turkey has existed on the map. These days what comes out of Turkey is mostly synthetic acrylic and not 100% wool. Commercial yarn companies make 80% acrylic and 20% wool cakes and they’re made in Turkey as it’s way cheaper to produce in a developing country like Turkey. Btw Turkey isn’t known for producing great wool. Island and Iceland do however. NZ land wool are softer however. And in South America for wool and alpaca. Not Turkey.
Indigo- blue
Weld- yellow
Fustic- yellow
Madder- oranges
Mustard- yellow
Logwood- purples Grey
Cochineal- pinks reds
Thanks so much!!
I could live in your wool shed! Thank you for the video.
Thank you for this fascinating and informative video.
The colours you obtained are beautiful.
Excellent and informative

4:22 a natural fixing agent is a rhubarb leaf. We use it North America.
7:00 ah I should have waited, she does mention rhubarb
