there is more than one way to get the pink shades. Cutch, pinecones, avocado stone or oak bark. you choose :) To learn more check out my resources-the site or ebook. Thanks x

For dyeing any fabrics from white or upcycling a loved item 😊

@NathaliePalardy it’s ponge silk fragments pre-dyed naturally ❤ xx

@@tanyarobinsonthanks a lot 🙏

Thank you for your question. It can be from 30 min to keeping it overnight. You get a stronger result that way. A deeper shade. 😍

That's great to know. Thank you x

Hi Lyre, the main difference would be in how colourfast it is. If there is no mordanting, the colour will easily wash away or disappear. it is sad when a nice shade is achieved:(

My pleasure 😊

Hi Zdena, my sanding machine is protected with the bubble wrap from below. I know people also use piece of IKEA drawer laying mat which is the same idea. Xx

Thanks for letting me know. I will take it into account next time x

Hi Loraine, I sometimes keep my used dye baths in the cold pantry room( up to a week). I try to plan my projects that I can dye a few things at once. I doesn’t always work like that. Fridge is too small. I use the freezer sometimes but I prefer making fresh dye baths because all if the colour pigment is at the bottom of the larger jar or a container when you try to reuse it. It needs good stirring 😅

*I use white vinegar when I make iron water to pre-treat linen. Typically just iron water without white vinegar for cotton. **I try and use dyes that contain tannins for cotton first ( avocado stones, oak bark, pine cones). They are the easiest and don’t require pre-treating really. The colour shade becomes a bit lighter but it is still colour fast. To ensure it lasts long, I pre-treat the fabric in advance.

@@tanyarobinson when you refer to "pre-treating" the cotton fabric first do you mean with a mordant or something else?

@@tiffanyzal-herwitz8745 yes, mordanting in this case. ☺️

Do you take this out to dry then use it to dye?

Hi Catherine, hand dyed linen plus embroidery sounds fantastic. 🌾 You have so many leaves, bark, flowers in nature in NZ. I want to encourage you to experiment and see what happens 😃 thank you for your kind words and support. Tanya
