Thankyou so very much, finally a learning experience that went straight to the subject, I get so tired of hearing and enduring something I could care less about,
You can but you may have to use a slightly different dye recipe and timing for cotton. Go to dharmatrading.com and check out their instructions for tie dyeing with fibre reactive dyes. That would work with the process in the video even though no ties are used. They have excellent instructions and all the supplies you could ever need!
Thank you for a great demonstration. What is the size of scarf you make and where do you buy your fabric from? Will the colors sold at Walmart as a 18 color kit work ? Thank you for your time
Just want to clarify... You don't use soda ash with the silk and mx dyes just salt? I was taught to use soda ash with silk. (not other protein fibers.)
I have used sofa ash, but it turns out with this technique it’s not necessary. The time and warmth are important for setting. It’s just as well because sod’s ash is hard on the silk fibre.
The stripe technique won’t work as well because the fabric is much thicker and the dye won’t go through all those layers. it may work with say, 2 or 3 layers. There is a second technique where you scrunch up the fabric to put the dye on. the result is a bit different, but at least you can make sure the dye gets everywhere. It’s in my video here: ua-cam.com/video/eulZDg6fM88/v-deo.html. Also make sure your satin is actually silk and not polyester!
I tried this recipe and the dye does not stay very well. I tried soaking it in salt water for a while longer and it still is bleeding. The towel that I used to iron on is now dyed and so are my hands. Do you have this problem?
@@bonniepiehler693 soak your silks in a baking soda / water solution for 15 minutes prior to dying. Procion Dyes require a basic solution to bind to the fabric. Normally you would use soda ash but soda ash is caustic to silk and will ruin the fabric or at the very least reduce it's luster. Silk is the hardest fabric to dye with Procion fiber reactive dyes as protein fibers usually need an acidic solution to be color fast.
So sorry to be late with this reply . Hopefully you mean the recipe given in my other video about how to mix the dyes. Once you’re finished dyeing, cover the trays with plastic and leave to set for at least 6 hours. I try to leave mine overnight - the longer the better. Rinsing is important - rinse once in cold water. Then squeeze the scarf out and let sit in a basin of warm water for at least 20 minutes or so. Then rinse quickly in clean warm water and if colour is still coming out, put in a basin of hot water with 1/4 cup of vinegar for 5-10 minutes. This will fix the colours well. Do note that you will see a lot of dye rinse away - this is because the silk is sitting in a pool of dye - what runs away is simply the dye that isn’t fixed to the fabric. I did put some of this info in my description above, but apologies for not being more thorough about the rinsing!
Thanks so much for letting me know! The address is correct, but youtube has some new requirement to verify your website and I had no idea until I checked to see what was wrong. The process is to complicated for me, but just typing the website address into your browser works fine.
I used fibre reactive dyes. If you look at my channel there is a video showing how to mix them. You can get them from pro Chemical Dyes or Dharma Trading. They’re both online.
There is nothing added to fix the dyes - it is the time (minimum 6 hours) and keeping the scarves damp by covering in plastic that fixes the dyes. Then they have to be rinsed to remove excess dye- then they can be washed in warm water any time.

I dye paper towels for my art. A lot of neat effects for my paper crafts.
Sounds like fun - You should check out my videos on paper dyeing and painting techniques.
Que la técnica es muy buena,solo falta que se traduzca al español
These are beautiful! Can I use the same process on 100% cotton scarves?
You can but you may have to use a slightly different dye recipe and timing for cotton. Go to dharmatrading.com and check out their instructions for tie dyeing with fibre reactive dyes. That would work with the process in the video even though no ties are used. They have excellent instructions and all the supplies you could ever need!
Hi! Lovely scarves. You mentioned working with the scarves "damp" - is that damp with water or alcohol?
Damp with water - I wet the silk then roll it in a towel to remove the excess water.
Very nice voice.
Thank you for a great demonstration.
What is the size of scarf you make and where do you buy your fabric from?
Will the colors sold at Walmart as a 18 color kit work ? Thank you for your time
Go to dharma trading online. I use their fiber reactive dyes with the cold water method. Generally You can’t get thes get these dyes retail.
What kind of dye are you using please?
Fibre Reactive dyes. The process of how to prepare them is in another video ‘Mixing Fibre Reactive Dyes’

How to mix dye
Wow❤
HI Susan, I noticed the silk was wet? Did you clean these with Synthrapol first?
No, I just wet it. This fine silk is very absorbant and soaks up the dye easily.
Où pouvons nous acheter tous les produits et les accessoires pour pratiquer la peinture sur soie. Merci infiniment.

Where do you get the silk fabrics? 🤔

@@Susancorbinart : Thank you! 😊 🙏🏾💕

Just realize the salt I used was kosher salt with no iodine not pickling salt. I will get some pickling salt and try again.

@@alexbrand3862Is baking soda kinder to silk than Soda ash?
Where do you buy your scarves?
Dharma Trading in the U. S. and G&S dyes in Toronto.
didn't u put vinegar to keep the color???
These particular dyes don’t need vinegar. It never hurts to add vinegar to the rinse though.
Your website doesn't work.

Are they washable after they are dried? What do you add so the colors don’t get washed out?
There is nothing added to fix the dyes - it is the time (minimum 6 hours) and keeping the scarves damp by covering in plastic that fixes the dyes. Then they have to be rinsed to remove excess dye- then they can be washed in warm water any time.
