🌈 Dyeing Tips & Techniques

Best Dye Types for Silk:

• Acid Dyes: Produce vibrant, wash-fast colors on silk (use with vinegar or citric acid)
• Natural Dyes: Create earthy, organic tones using plants, flowers, and botanical materials
• Fiber Reactive Dyes: Achieve brilliant colors with excellent lightfastness
• Food Coloring: Safe, accessible option for beginners experimenting with color

Pro Dyeing Tips:

• Pre-soak yarn in warm water with a drop of dish soap to remove any residue
• Use a mordant (like alum) for natural dyes to improve color fastness
• Maintain consistent temperature (around 185°F/85°C) for even color absorption
• Allow yarn to cool completely in dye bath for deeper color saturation
• Rinse gently in cool water until water runs clear
• Hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve color vibrancy

It's a neutral foundation that invites transformation — a blank canvas that honors the natural beauty of silk while waiting for your artistic vision. This versatile base works with any color palette and complements both warm and cool tones.
