Making Natural Dye Using Vegetables | GRATEFUL 

Chris Hollobaugh Thank you from the expert

Yes u r right 😊

Also if they pronounced the r in tuRmeric it would be awesome.

Guess they figured everyone would know what boiled water would look like.

Exactly.. ! This was more about them instead of the natural dye

Not much is going on. Its a veg in water.... boiling.

How did it work?

You can! I make natural inks too. You can add in other ingredients to the vegetable dyes, like binder (gum arabic, shellac etc.), or modifiers to change the base colour, preservatives, to make it into ink for use with brushes or dip pens. If you are using them for fountain pens though, you need to check if the inks will be corrosive, stain your nib etc - so there are many factors to consider.

Hi, I used to be a hairdresser who specialized in dyes. I doubt it would be as effective for dying hair as a regular hair dye would be. You could absolutely give it a try and see how it goes but the reason hair dye is so effective is because it's specially formulated to work specifically for hair. The microscopic particles in hair dye are formulated to mimic the cells in your hair that gives them colour, which is why hair dye is most effective for colouring hair. I doubt the pigments in these ingredients would be as effective for your hair given that they're not designed for it. But you could still experiment and see how it goes, you might discover something interesting.

its probably just the name idk

Thanks!

Wow how about coffee?

Coffee gives a lighter tan. Think of mixing milk with coffee.

Awesome 🙏😍

Thanks!

also if you want a very pretty brown colour i recommend using red onion skin or dried avocado skin

@@torrii5333 It fades just after the first wash or does it keep fading?

If you put the dyed fabric in salt water...it will stay for longer

I came in here just for this comment. Thank you. 😊

Yes seeing that there’s such a small amount of time and the videos I would rather everything be focused on what they can teach us rather than the cute stuff… I know I’m being a bit picky but when you’re brand new and you’re trying to learn every minute counts… Also two people doing the teaching is distracting and again I would rather hear if you’re using certain vegetable and you want to change the color I want to know Do I use lemon do I use lime I want very specific ABCs and not all over the place. Having complained however this is a very good video.

Just like the pH of the soil defines the color of hydrangeas!

Dont get it. I want to get magenta color. Thx

Can we use water colour

@@asiajoelle2760 I don't know how to do magenta

@@chinkibarnwal5812 the pigments for water color? I have no idea. It might depend on what they are made from

Salt? Naa sodium chloride

What I’ve gotten from the comments, is yes you can diy fabric/ clothing/ wool/ cotton with it as long as it’s like natural fibres

I store them in the refrigerator for about a week in a glass jar with a lid. After about a few weeks mold started to grow on top. I dye paper and fabric with mine.

yes! just add in clove and thyme as preservative

Adding an anti-bacterial essential oil should keep it from molding.

I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that was so confused about the pasta situation!

Brasil: I eat it all

Awesome thank you!

No issue with the smell of the yarn, use wool or cotton natural fibres, a mordant helps uptake.

I'd like to know how that works!

Yeah! How did it work?

Lauren Kelly yeah of course they’re acids

Can you tell us another naturally occurring high base to help it turn blue? perhaps one that can be grown or in some other way be found without shopping for it?

​@@chandlerbryant6680 I wouldn't suggest them very much, there are a lot of different kinds of acids, from lemons,vinegard and usually sodas, but there are really few basic ones, baking soda could be the only easy one to use in those cases, egg albumen is also a little basic and also used in some inks, but the quantity could be a bit big and it could go rancid, ammonia and bleach are pretty basic, but also pretty dangerous to use in things/cases they aren't supposed to be used

@@lorenzoemmepi3302 Ammonia. Let's focus on that. So theoretically I could do like the colonials used to do and make chamber lye and use that as a base to turn it blue?

I'm an Italian who lives in Italy, so, I don't have a great culture about what colonials used to do, Ammonia is still something you should need to buy and can be pretty harmful to play with, is also more difficult to dose than a solid like baking soda, which is also pretty harmless I found that chamber lye should be the procedure of putting ashes in a bath to obtain a basic solution? Cause, in that case, I wouldn't recommend it either, the water in that case can become very basic and caustic again, here the grandmas did it to make soap, but they knew the techniques to do it and their hands were bad, I wouldn't suggest to do it or To make a video like everyone could do it alone at home, expecially just for a blue ink, were baking soda could be used Ah, pee contains urea, that can form a mild basic solution

@@lorenzoemmepi3302 thats what im talking about. The colonials used to pee in a pot, let it sit out for a few days, and it would turn into what was known as "chamber lye" which could be used for washing clothes.
