I ask this question to all dyers, How long under wear and with washing do these dyes hold. How pale might they become over time? Lovely video btw thank you and gods bless you to find the color that you want.😊👺
I would like to spin, dye and weave my own linnens and wools, when is the best time to dye it (before spinning, after spining, after weaving? I would like to do it before weaving so that I could try patterns) and how should I approach it (I 'm afraid that doing it poorly or at the wrong time would result in felting of the fiber or tangling of the thread)
You created really nice dyed yarns. I really like the cochineal dyes, especially! Out of curiosity, did you use an outdoor or indoor dye station? If you used an outdoor one, how did you set it up? Thanks for showing your beautiful projects with us! They're wonderful!
Thanks for your comment! I just dyed these inside, however will be setting up an outside dyeing station for Abbey Medieval Festival next month. (as long as it's all finished in time ;) ) I'll be sure to take photos of it once it's all set up and I'll share those on my blog.
Madder is generally recognized as the most durable and lightfast of all natural dyes. Genuine Cochineal fades quickly by comparison. But there are more lightfast (than Madder) synthetic red dyes available today (expensive and complicated to use), as well as less, and some are about the same. If one has access to chemically completely iron free water, and completely avoid iron and steel utensils, it should be possible to get a higher, cooler red color from Madder. But I've never done that, so I'm only talking about things I've heard.
What a great hubby!
Really great results with your dyes, super impressive!

Do these reds fade quickly with sunlight, like modern reds do?

What the hell kind of reds have you been using?
@@anarchyandempires5452 Um just any damn reds. Please tell me what reds you use????
Don't use cochineal if you're vegan or vegetarian.
