e and so the dye moved much quicker and further wicking procion violet ra and yellow 2ra some of these are two different colours but most are of one colour made with two different dyes wicking with procion indigo mx i love this indigo colour just like the real indigo without the mess and you can get paler or darker much easier it is available from dharma in the usa wicking turquoise ultramarine blues wicking fuschia red 8b and red 5b mix wicking pastel blue purple mix wicking various yellows mixed wicking ruby red on only one folded edge wicking olive green and green mx mix wicking violet ra yellow 2ra close up violet yellow wicking wicking sky blue lime green lime green split colour close up of lime green split wicking sky blue lime green close up of sky blue lime green wicking wicking sky blue lime green as you can see wicking produces some interesting results a bit more planned than dyeing under ice even though the folding is the same the drier the fabric the more white and the wetter the fabric the more wicking and spreading of colour one dye which consistently separates is the lime green sometimes there is more yellow and other times a hint of blue in the separation i haven t worked out what the catalyst is yet sometimes it is the temperature of the water when mixing the dye in the first place but not always and other times i can t work out a reason at all thank you for reading this far now it s your turn to try out some of these techniques and leave a comment on your results below keep smiling the silly season is nearly over a happy new year to all my

ice dyeing it s all in the folding part 1 posted on 31 12 2016 comments off on ice dyeing it s all in the folding part 1 a few weeks ago i delved into my bucket of pre soda soaked cotton fabric there s always a few metres ready to use after a bit of ripping and tearing i had enough fat quarters half metres and bit over a metre squares for a whole day s dyeing some fabric was still damp so it was easy to fold and the really dry pieces were dunked back into the soda ash a while later i had a basket ready for dyeing fabric parcels ready to go i am a great fan of the mandala especially the kaleidoscopic designs ice dyeing is a quick and easy way to achieve them it s all in the folding there are plenty of books available for fabric folding as well as videos on u tube so i won t go into it here place the fabric parcel in a colander or similar suspended over a bucket cover with ice blocks e g party ice and then sprinkle dry dye powder procion mx dyes over the ice which is above the fabric one two or three colours will give you an amazing kaleidoscope every piece will be a wonderful surprise there are no bad results only very different from what you thought possible experiment experiment experiment dyes sprinkled over ice and fabric leave until ice melts batch overnight and next day rinse in the usual way voila the one above is a largish piece a bit over the metre square but the ones below are all fat quarters the dyes used in the purple fabrics were violet ra and aubergine mixed together dry and sprinkled over one of them split the pale blue very pretty the dyes used in the green fabric were olive lichen and green mxg mixed dry in the bottom 3 fabrics i used lime lichen and yellow 2ra mixed dry fabric is actually more yellowy then the photo shows at this point i ran out of ice and being a sunday afternoon the local store closes early so what to do now plan b is in the next post till then keep smiling share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook

2016 1 comment with another indigo workshop happening this weekend i made up a new brew and tested it for colour and tried out a few what ifs here are three scarves i chose to overdye ones which for some reason didn t quite make the grade for selling at markets ready to go l to r large pink large orange green and fuschia metallic and after dyeing unclamped before opening after rinsing and ironing orange scarf before opening opened and resting on gravel rinsed and ironed lovely fan design on end fuschia metallic scarf has horizontal stripes the what if experiment having carefully removed each bundle from the vat into a large bowl i had carried them outside to unwrap and hang as the bowl had quite an amount of greenish liquid in it i thought what if i put another bundle in the bowl to soak up the liquid if it doesn t work no harm done and i ll know that the liquid isn t viable but wow this is what happened to a small orangey silk scarf was plain orange scarlet now beautiful mottled orange green yellow there might not have been much indigo left in the dregs but the result really is something now i m off to try it again share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook
