Thank you very much. Would you also try to revolutionise the screen printing industry with NON acrylic non synthetic [only natural ecological VEGANIC plant based dye gels] I am very glad l found your mini documentary, thanks again, Justice

Great video! Very informative. Thank you so much!😊

Did your website change, the links listed are coming up as invalid so I entered the website name and still is invalid.

Very nice, I will try these natural dyes.

LOVED IT.

Found your 2-year-old video....awesome... so far, it belongs to the best category alongside one other.....simplified...detailed and learnt a lot, therefore 100% inspiring. I am hoping to experiment with products you sell and will post results . ❤❤

❤😊😮

Wow this girl run a proper experiement, I'm just 13:28 in but can already tell this is QUALITY content.

Hi do you have a new website address? The links in this video description cannot be accessed anymore. Thank you so much!

okay but weirdly??? the green kinda suits you, it looked really good!

So insightful, thank you I'll stick to alum for starters

Thank you for all of this detail about the differences just what I was looking for

Salt would have helped

Wow you are the fabric dye scientist!! Very helpful

Thank you for doing such an extremely thorough experiment! Really interesting results

It's so beautiful

Lovely it looks like.ita hard to saturate and would need different sections. The difference in colour s would be the porosity is different for each area. I'm looking for ash tones just like this for my much darker hair, I've had orange hair it doesn't look good.

So well explained! Thank you!!

That was a great experiment!

Thanks!❤ This is very helpful for our project. One question, after simmering the fabric with mordant, do I need the fabric to be dry first before putting the dye extract or put the dye extract while the cotton fabric is wet?

Thank you so much for the demo

Awesome.very very beautiful

This is such good science

Lots of work! Wow! Thanks!

Instead of using water, I learned to use fresh brewed coffee and beet juice and that's how I have been doing since

I actually like all the variants of each colour for the type of crafts I do, even the sun faded ones, thank you so much for this tutorial, I am excited to try this dyeing experiment for my self as I am told the different types of water make a difference, as I live in an area of very hard water I will use highland spring water from Scotland as well as the tap water from the chalk hills area I live in.

This was incredibly useful. Thank you for producing this video.

Hello, muchas gracias. Are these mordants tóxico for using them in our kitchen?? are they safe to use?? do you need special care after this process, or can you just wash the fabric as normal? Gracias

I am so impressed with your methodology!

15:10 a hopefully helpful idea for the soy smell issue: a salad spinner works too. I use mine single for hand-washed clothing items some times.

Thank you. You are a trouper. I think this would be great for me that I have some white hair and brown black hair. I would like to see part 2. Although, 8 would consider adding other natural dyes. Next time perhaps section it. You look great, anyway

I actually don’t mind the cardboard colours especially as I would be using the cloth in craft projects. Thank you for your research.

I love the indigo on you! Way better than generic blonde! Gives me vibes of some mysterious forest fairy!

Great video

Great video and looking forward to making my first Vat

When you were putting the fabric into the soy milk you said it had been scoured & prewetted, can you please explain the scouring part.

I did enjoy your video very much. I’ve never seen this method. Thankyou.

you dint mentioned application time,how much hours u let the color stay

Hello. I absolutely LOVE this video. I've just started dyeing and I dyed Logwood onto cotton. I use Aluminium acetate to mordant, but didn't use a tannin before the mordant. I'm concerned the logwood won't last long. Could I put the dyed cotton into a tannin bath, mordwith alum and dye again? Or is it too late for tannin at this point? Thank you x

Is there a reason (other than electricity use) not to use a dryer for the layers of soy milk?

Great experiment! Thanks for sharing.

Any tips for making the result darker

Hi! How long should you mordant cellulose fabric for if you're putting it in a pot on the stove top with potassium alum? Is 1hr long enough? Ive been seeing various info.. Thanks!

I actually really like it

So I bought the wrong thing when I was trying to dye with indigo, the first time the dye turned my clothes a grey color with a hint of blue. I found out that in needed more oxygen so I basically used to jars and mixed between the 2 jars to get it more oxygenated. I wonder if that would help it to be more blue

Such an interesting and informative experiment. You’ve given me loads of ideas thanks so much 😀Nigel

Awesome video! It’s great to see the side by side comparisons of the mordant methods and it’s lightfastness. Thanks so much for sharing! I was confused at first by the soda ash, vinegar, alum combination. But after looking in to it the soda ash and vinegar would create sodium acetate which when mixed with alum would make aluminum acetate, which is often preferred over alum. So it’s essentially a homemade aluminum acetate! I also wonder if perhaps the mold didn’t impact the soy milk results and they were accurate for that method. They were similar to the control colours which makes me think it just didn’t work great for those dyes. I haven’t done it myself, but I do agree with another commenter that I’ve seen it recommended that home made soy milk works better. And from what I understand, it works differently from other mordants in that it doesn’t actually bind to the fibre the same way. Instead you’re essentially trapping the soy milk on the fibre and building it up more and more with subsequent dips. So the more dips the more soy the more spots for dye to bind. I have heard it referenced as basically adding protein to a cellulose fibre as most dyes bond stronger to proteins than cellulose. A cool experiment could be to compare the use or a mordant on cotton with and without the addition of soy milk before dyeing, basically seeing if it gets a more saturated colour as wool or silk might. Your video has got me thinking!

Thank you! I'd love to see more experiments like this, but catering to silk.

What a thorough and comprehensive video! So much thought and time went into this experiment and it is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
