I had trouble finding an orange fabric so I found a recipe using Tangerine plus a little Apple Green. It turned out perfectly! I love the surprise of the end result!
Orange fabric is hard to find. It’s nice to know you can make whatever you need for a project!
Hi, Lara! Thank you for showing us your dyeing experiments. I really enjoyed it, and I would say they were very successful! All the colors you produced look great, especially the Evening Blue ones. Isn’t it amazing how the colors can all react so differently? I hope you are proud of your efforts, because you did a great job! 🤗

Thank you so much! It was a fun experiment and very interesting to see the results. I definitely want to try again with different colors. The Evening Blue pieces were some of my favorites. Thanks for watching! 😊
Loved your video today Lara! The blues are amazing! 👏🏻😃🧑🏻🦰🇨🇦
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! The blue fabrics are some of my favorites 💙
Thanks for sharing - I am excited to try rit dye! ❤❤
It was fun, I will be trying again with other colors! 😀
Thank you for showing your dyeing process. You do have some fun and unique fabric to use for projects. I look forward to seeing the Raven project on that grey fabric.
You’re welcome 😊 I am excited to start it on the grey!
They all turned out nice. I really liked the blue on the 28 count Monoco. It was a fun video to watch.
Thank you, that was one of my favorites!
What a fun experiment!! Thank you for taking us into your “lab”. I’ve been curious about dyeing . You made it look less scary.
Happy stitching 🧵
I’m glad, I hope others try it! Thanks for watching 😊
I really enjoyed the video. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😊
Great job on the dying. I love the turnout of your fabric colors.
Thank you so much!
Thx for doing this video. It was nice to see it step by step. I appreciate it. Time consuming but worth it.
You're very welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
Enjoyed watching you dye fabric. It encouraged me to perhaps give it a try!
It was fun! Thanks for watching 😊
All of your fabric turned out great!
Thank you!
That was fun to watch and it looks like you had success. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙂
Thank you! This was so fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Love how all of it turned out. I have never used black tea bags when dying. I love the results. I am going to get some for next time I dye fabrics. I think it so fun to dye fabric and experiment with all the different colors 😊
Thank you, it was fun! I’ve got to catch up on my videos and watch your WIP Parade 😀
Thanks for sharing!
Love ❤️ your videos
Thank you for sharing. You made it look so easy. I think I am going to experiment and try dying my own fabrics. Can’t wait to see your raven pattern stitched on your piece of grey fabric.
You should try it! Thanks for watching😀
This was super fun to watch! You got some fun pieces to stitch on!
Thank you! I was excited to stitch some Halloween pieces on my dyed fabric so I had to put away Christmas in July WIPs for a little while😄
@@textilly I was thinking Halloween the second I saw some of those colors!! So fun. 🎃
You made dying material look so easy.
It was easy and fun just took some time to do all the steps. Thanks for watching! 😊
You’ve inspired me to try my hand at dyeing! Thank you so much!
That’s great, it’s fun to try! Thanks for watching 😊
Cool video. Thanks
The instant coffee is also great because you can increase the strength/darkness factor. I'm going to try walnut crystals which I had on hand. The black is really intense and will dye very dark. You can also pick up Color Remover by RIT which is handy if you get a combo you don't like. There are two grays, a light and a dark. I bought the light but have yet to try.
That’s good to know. My store didn’t have gray in stock so I had to dilute the black. I need to order the gray when I get the denim blue I wanted to try. I also read a comment on someone else’s channel to try rubbing the coffee grounds on your fabric before going in the oven and then rinsing out. There are so many things to try!
Your grey came out very nicely. I'll let you know how mine does. I love dying the opalescent best!
That’s a good idea! I’ll have to try that 😀
AWESOME VIDEO. Thank you
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing and the inspiration. 😊I have wanted to dye some of my fabric really to darken the color but, more so to soften it like the purchased ones. 😊
The coffee/tea really works well to darken the color! Thanks for watching 😊
Wow, that was fun. You did a great job, I love all the colors of the dyed fabric. I'm considering whether dyeing floss works similarly well. Thanks a lot for the Video!
I’ve never thought to try dyeing floss. Would be fun to try! If you have white dmc on hand when your dyeing it would be easy to add it in with your fabric. Great idea! 😀
@@textilly 👍🏻
I think the yellow & blue splotches on your gray fabric is due to the salt not being completely diluted. I believe I’ve heard that in another video.
That's good to know, thank you!
You can always dye your orange fabric again.
That’s a good idea!
Lara your orange turned out soooo pretty! I love the way the blues changed, I've done a blue before which did the same but my mottling was excessive. I need to try again. Mine seemed to smell like coffee forever lol, did yours?
Thank you! I did notice the coffee/tea smell. I was thinking of rinsing the fabric before hanging to dry next time to see if that helps but it might get rid of a lot of the color. It’s something I’ll have to experiment with. I don’t really notice the smell being as strong on the lugana I dyed a year or so ago. I’m excited to start stitching on the orange, I was happy with how it turned out. Thanks for watching!
They are all different and very pretty. Question - why do you have to tuck in the ends?
I remember Priscilla and Chelsea mentioning that in their tutorial. I think the edges being exposed in the oven are more likely to burn and get crispy. Thanks for watching!
Question: why does it go in the oven?
The Stitching with the Housewives tutorial said you need to use heat to set the color. They use the oven to do that and it also darkens the fabric a little more. I’ve also heard it could be done in the microwave but I haven’t tried that.
