Die their own thread isn't difficult and can be fun! There are lots of ways to die, but the one I like best uses mixes drinks unsweetened, such as Kool-Aid or taste-Aid and microwave. You must use 100% wool yarn (or other protein fiber) color to take. I've used wool of the fisherman with good results. To prepare the wool, make packages for about two ounces each, tied with a short string. (Use thread to tie my packages, and then to maintain ties on index cards with details of the yarn and amounts of mix that I used for future reference.) (I experiment much!)
Soak bales of wool in hot water with liquid soap dish trigger for half hour. While packages are soaking prepare its dye. You can use plastic cups mix. I like to mix a lot in a plastic a Lidded container and store it for later use.Start with a drink for every ounce of fiber to dye mix package. mix with six ounces of water and two ounces distilled white vinegar.
In short: for every ounce of fiber:
pkg drink mix.1
6 ounces of water
2 ounces of vinegar
Feel free to experiment.The more they drink uses, brightest is mezcla.puede color mixing several separate colors in cups and splatters the thread with a Turkey Basters (brush or eye dropper...) or you can combine different flavors for a mixture.
A Pyrex-type plastic wrap line and remove the thread your bathroom glass casserole dish. Carefully squeeze out excess water. If you shake the thread that too will begin to feel, what you want to be very smooth! Place the thread in the plastic wrap and pour the tint over it. Make sure that all yarn gets covered by the mixture of dye.
Wrap the plastic tightly around of the thread. You might want to protect endpoints with masking tape, but it is not necessary. Squeeze around new fluid to make sure that it has covered all yarn. The package in the plate glass in the heights of microwave for two minutes. Remove the plate in the microwave and leave to stand for more than two minutes.Check if the liquid is clear. Be careful, as it will be very hot! keep the hands and face away package for steam is released.
If the fluid is not clear, return the package to microwave for another two minutes at a time.When is the liquid colorless is terminada.Quite the plastic wrap and Rinse carefully with water hot.Feel free to let the cold of yarn in the air.Configure mine outside in the courtyard.When it cools thread can use cold water to rinse.(The most extreme is exposed to, most likely it is that felt.)
When the thread is cool enough to handle, drain excess water and hang to dry.My neighbors know that it was a dying day when they see the multi-colored streamers strolling around in my branches of the trees ahead! wet days tombs yarn on hangers and let it dry inside. sure plant with towels or newspapers to detect the line drips.
Notes finishing as few: this microwaveable method is best if they are dying a small amount of thread and you want to achieve an effect moteado.Para obtain more uniform effect, can be dyed yarn in a large skillet on the quemadores.También I tested dying finished items, which worked fine, while the color settle deeper in some manchas.Uno most charming results die with mixtures of beverages is that the finished yarn smells something as well as its sabor.Yum!
