I have used paper towels under my silk as well and have saved them cause they looks so lovely. I have yet to use them for anything though. Thanks Denise.
It’s wonderful After completing ur colouring how long it need to wait until rinsed in salt and vintage r Please specifically mention the ratio and time required to dry and iron until finished product 👍🏻
Once all the ink is dry on your scarf (it can take 20-30 minutes approximately) you can put it in the cold water/vinegar/salt solution. Soak it for 15-20 minutes. Then let it dray (another 20-30 minutes) before you iron it.
I’m a new subscriber. This silk scarf technique is wonderful! Do you have a video that describes the vinegar soak? I’m wondering what the proportions of water to alcohol are and how long you let it soak.
Funny you should mention that Barb as I've been thinking I should create a video about the vinegar soak, but I have yet to do so. I do it intuitively meaning I fill my bathroom sink with cold water and pour in some white distilled vinegar (approx. 1/2 to 1 cup) and I add iodized salt (approx. 1-2 tablespoons) - rarely do I measure it. I do one scarf at a time (unless I'm using same colors on multiple scarves). After the scarf dries, I iron it with a steam iron and then repeat the process one more time. Hope this helps.
Very pretty! 🤩 In the past, I painted silk too. I like to lay it on paper towels and use these towels for journal covers. 🤩

What is the ratio of the water, vinegar, and salt? Thank you!

Is this a shear silk ?
It's thin Karen, but not totally sheer. Check it out here: amzn.to/3SlhyGF
