Inside The Vagaina Images



tinted

My romance with dyeing began with the rush and the rush of a love casualty ... I do not know how they got drops of bleach a summer dress ... very chilly and again ... Salmon was a much loved but I had bought it anyway because it looked very cool. For what's done is done ... I try a purple dye (in my country anilines Hummingbird) to check out ... and by the way when I walked Scalabrini I bought some fleece to accompany these experiences tintoriles


here can see the dress dyeing ... and fleece etching overnight with alum ...



And no sooner had this first game broke my love ..... irrepressible love for dyes and fleece .... This affair went on


and the conclusion was ...


The fleece was as a second tinted pink after the dress ... in the same dye ... the other two ... attempts to dye a long strip of fleece in two colors ....

Consejitos :

* must either aniline dissolved in hot water ... I did this time directly into vials and stirred it well with sticks of disposable sushi.

* document if possible ... so you do not like me to refer you to the memory of how many grams of what and what employees ... in my case it was impossible to dizzying experience and the fact that I was alone ... but it would be good to do two.

* very careful water temperature ... in this case the bottles were placed directly in the pot with water and this over the fire ring ... but would remake the experience of the bottles down a flower for steam.


A few days later I returned to buy fleece .... 1 1 / 2 kilos this time and do other tests with food dyes (Zucco juice and food coloring for cakes) and acid dyes








Here
prepared to dye my special pot with a flower of steam ... the water below and the fleeces are not in contact with her.

the dyes diluted in hot water but this time in deshuso packaging of detergents and mustard, well washed of course.

The method of preparing the fleece this time was on kitchen foil ... I dipped the fleece in advance and you put a tablespoon of vinegar per quart of water to the soaking water ...

fleece squeezed a bit trying to manipulate as little as possible .... I gave a few turns on my device to dry the plants ... three laps to be exact ... from there spread out on foil and place it directly dyes as free creativity and drives ... This was the part I most enjoyed ...

then tied the parcel ... I made double envelope and placed it on the flower without touching the water.
the results are these:






Well ... I tested the same day also stained with juice .... I used a brand on the market is Zucco, sugar and dyed in the microwave ...

I used disposable cups to mix and stain, but it can use other juices as these are non-toxic ...

the fleece was soaked with water and vinegar, a tablespoon per liter ... Fewer dyed and it was only a test


the dyed skeins that are entering the glass ... The left is coloring cakes, other grapefruit, mango, grapes, raspberries and passion fruit ...


the results really liked ... repeat the experience over quantity ... the amazing thing is that after two minutes the maximum pool water is clean because completely absorvió fiber all the color !
results here:


mix of mango and papaya


two small ovillitos on the right are the grape, that of deeper color and raspberry ... the others are other experiences with acid dyes ...
remains for the next review of the places where they documented and what books to read ...

Happy New Year to all ...

I have so much to tell and show ... I weave most little ... for Viviana




Viviana meanwhile was as follows:


How wonderful being an aunt .... almost, I do not give me a hard time little walk by his house every evening ...

Well as long I have also not written to show you this:




the improvised curtain for the window of my staircase that gets a hot sun in summer ... finished with a floral motif of Avalon of Doris Chan .
The shawl is 198 yds . of Heaven of Verity Christy, a free download from Ravelry .... I said I love Ravelry .... I think that makes writing so little here ....
Anyway ... did 4 repeats of A chart and a chart of B. I think spinning ... Pingouin beautiful , required smaller needles (which of course was busy) so I'm somewhat dissatisfied with the outcome.

But the pattern is simple to follow and very attractive ... the brickyard again merino lace and 3.5 mm needles.

Finally what got me more excited ...


Spring, and s my first skein ... first time I tint process and spinning with spindle.



Timber ... is the second, the fiber was purchased and brown ... the yellow colored by me.


Country lilac is the third skein ... and is closer to what I want ... thick yarn suitable for scarves ...

And next will be with this fiber dyed especialmente para el KAL de hilado que organiza l amarietaweb de TLQH ...



acá una muestra de cómo va:


La próxima prometo contar y mostrar mis experimentos con tintes .... que es toda una aventura y pensar que todo empezó porque manché con lavandina un vestido nuevo y fresquísimo....
