Very nice video, I love your vibe & work. I am at the moment trying to do something similar with some wild mustard flowers growing in our communal garden. Did you use any tanin for the mordant or only alum?
@@pheart2381 than you) I'm a crossstitcher and I want to try dyeing my evenweave with natural dyes. So I was wondering about the ways to prolong the colors of the fabric for as much longer time as possible.
Hello, so yes it’s all about the mordanting /pretreatment of the fibers before dyeing. You can use alum for animal fibers and alum acetate for plant fibers … there are other ways but that should get you started 💛
@@billynou Thank you! I have no idea what camera to get but I want to get something nicer then my phone. I am not a tech person though and I feel sooo lost!😅 He is very talented!

Are you still offering online classes?
What did you use to mordant?
I used alûm for my silk , alum acetate for the bamboo and a combination of tannin and alum for the cotton socks 💛
Amazing video!! Onу question if I may - how do you fixate these colors?
Mordanting helps the dye grab onto the fabric.

Such a lovely video! Its so peaceful and inspiring! May i ask what camera & editing software you use? I love how warm your videos are!
It’s Sony alpha camera and I have NO idea what software it is 😆 it’s my partner who does all the editing 😅 and he is very talented ♥️♥️

Lovely! Do they fade away when washed?
So many factors involved in colour fastness but in general they last much better than people think! 😆
Did you keep the leftover water and reuse
Not this time but I watered my plants with it…. You can also make lake pigments with left over dye baths 🌸
