A frequently asked question:
How do I get the color to be more saturaturated/lighter/more pink etc.?
It depends on a lot of different things: the fiber you use, the water, the avocado, length in the dye bath etc.! If you want the color to be darker then use more avocado, let it simmer longer or dye your yarn a second time. Avocado is an organic material and therefore I can't give you an exact answer. Have fun and just play around with it!

I wouldn't have thought that avocado would dye that dusty rose color. Very pretty
Thank you for this tutorial! It's Avocado season now and this will be very useful 🥑
This is so cool! I love the colors. I am going to try this with my little girl, I think she will love it.
Very pretty! I love dusty pinks! And thank you for sharing!
Please share more natural dye hacks! 🥰
Thank you, I just found some wool for dyeing at our local market and was wondering what I should use as a natural dye... :)
Hejsan. Hjärtligt tack för Din Video. Jag vill prova med Avokado och färger mitt woll. Vilket jättekul idé faktiskt.
Tack igen. 🙂💐
Perfectly beautiful, unbelieveable
Thank you very much!
Thanks, I had no idea that tanin would act as a mordant. Lovely pinks.
also forgot to ask how colorfast is it? sorry if you already mentioned this, I watched a few weeks ago and cannot recall all details except that it was the best video on this subject. well done.
Just beautiful, thank you for the demo
Beautiful! Thank you. 🌸
Lovely colors!
It turns out so cool.
Very nice tutorial and the colour you got is lovely. Thanks.
Many thanks for this very clear tutorial. According to your experience, how is the colourfast of avocado dyes in wool (without mordant but the avocado pit)? Do you have any experience with avocado on cellullose fibers (cotton, linen, hemp)? I get much more intense colours in hemp and cotton (with natural dyes with tannin), but I don't know how long they will last before fading, either in animal or in cellullose fibers. I hope you can give me some light on this point.
Lovely! Thank you SO much for sharing! :D
OMG, I was looking for that color
Same Here. Even the Colour of the Colour Shop doesn't look like so charming and adorable.
Now I got an new idea to dye my Yarn. 😁😁
Thank you for sharing! I'm going to dye my next skein with avocado. 😀
Undyed yarn is now available in my shop 😊
Skal garnet ikke skulles op i eddikevand som ellers i plante farveprocessen?🦔🌷🥳
nice
will this work with cotton cord as well? Thank you for sharing!
SO BEAUTIFUL thank you
Thank you so much. I am definitely going to do this
Suzanne Stokes Yay! 😉😊
Very beautiful..be blessed
I am definitely going to try this! Would the tanin from the avocado work as a mordant for other natural dyes like onion skin or black beans?
Does the colour fade with wash?
onion skins don't need a mordant.
Did you just use the dried skin of one avocado? Please do more video on dyeing using natural ingredients to get other colours.
Amy Lewis yes :)
Thank you for the video! I have an abundance of white alpaca that I am planning to spin & dye. Do you see any challenges with following your steps for dying wool applied to alpaca? Thanks in advance for your advice.
So cool
Lovely informative video, thanks
Thank you! Great video.
i cant wait to try this !!thanku :)
Do you handwash this yarn? Does the color stay?
So, you didn't use any mordant besides the natural tannin of the avocado pit, right? I love the finished yarn!
Correct :)
thank you!
How long does the color last?
Hej - Er det rigtigt forstået, at jeg ikke behøver at bejse mit garn før farvning? Blot farve😉🦔🌷
Ja, det er tanin i avokadostenen, det virker sol bejdse 😊
educational
thank you
How long do you let the avocado dry before you use it?
Hello, I am hoping to make some natural dye to print a stencil on a cotton shirt.
My Idea was to basically paint or spray the dye over a stencil onto a pre-soaked shirt. This means I can't soak the fabric in the dye bath. Do you think this could still work?
I was going to use berries and and salt as the fixative. Do you have any experience using regular table salt as a fixative? It sounds too good to be true.
Hi John, I regularly use table salt as a natural mordant. And it really works! For your idea, I would suggest soaking the shirt in warm water with salt for about half an hour. That's what I do with the yarn that I dye. You can add salt to your dye, too, but it is not really necessary if you have soaked your shirt properly. I hope this helps! :)
Because the dye is a liquid it would very difficult to keep those stencil edges on the fabric. Anyone who has ever used Friskit film on paper (which is much smoother) knows that something wet has a tendency to run under the stencil edge. Try it out on a small piece of material and see what happens.
That is absolutely gorgeous! Would it work with 100% cotton yarn?
I've seen a tutorial from Chemknits, and she used both cotton and wool. Both worked, but they produced different shades and effects. So I think there just has to be some trial and error involved to get the desired color :)
does this work on 100% cotton yarn or tee material? lovely presentation thanx so much.
BarbaraL Lowell thank you :) I believe it does but I've never tried it myself. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more by doing a quick search online :)
Do you know if I can reuse the water or the pits by freezing it?
What kind of wash is in the pink bucket at the end of your video? Does this help to lock the dye to the fibers?
It's just wool wash which is a gentle soap for wool, it only removes excess dye and cleans the wool; it does not affect the colour or fastness of colour.
Lovely video! Now I have something to try with my avocados. I have a question, how long can you keep the avocado dye? Is it possible to store it?
Most of the color has already attached to the wool. Someone may have more info.
For 2-3 days. I've frozen my dyes on a couple of occasions. Works fine :)
So if you want to colour it darker like the middle skein, do I add more skins and pits, let the colour simmer for longer or just let the yarn simmer in the dye for longer, or?
I'd think you'd add more skins, try to concentrate the dye as much as you can to darken it. maybe use the skin of 2 avacados instead of one?
Can I dye Eri silk using avocado?
Does this work macrame cord?
As a dyer I know it very well
And it's my business
