I’ve seen people solar dye clothing, yarn, and other fibers with flowers. Would it be possible to use flowers instead of dye when pigmenting angora wool?
For natural dye, you'd want to mordant the angora fiber just like wool. Alum and cream of tartar, and use color-fast flowers like goldenrod or marigold.
Dye chemically bonds with the fiber, paint would coat it. There is a video of a lady trying acrylic paint on acrylic yarn, but her results were not great.
Lovely video! thank you for the help! Also please let your kid give random facts in all your videos, they were amazing 😂
Thank you for sharing your time.
Your baby is so cute I love her/his facts 💕
Thank you. Ive been searching for washing instructions, but now i want to dye too!
This was very interesting x

Can you use paint instead if food coloring or does it have to be food coloring? Just curiouse

@@auroraasleep ok i got diy now and i did a lime green with english angora rabbit fur waiting for it to dry now :) your video was so helpful
@@caseyjohnson494 yay! I hope it turns out well. Keep turning the fluff over and separating it to help it dry.
Would it be ok to put the wool in a dehydrator for drying? At lowest temp of course
that would probably work.
I thought felting took two of these three elements. Heat, Friction and water. Never hear of soap being required for felting.Love the video though.
