άνθη Μολοχας, πράσινο - 50γρ

Recipe: Textile Color, with Mallow Blossoms

Light Petrol, Green

Preparation: The fabric should be washed as hot as possible. I.e. wool and silk with wool detergent at approx. 30°C and cotton and linen at up to 90°C.

Put the washed, damp fiber into the mordant bath and leave it for 12 hours or even longer. Move gently from time to time. Rinse well and place still damp in the prepared dye bath.

Processing

Step 1: Add 50 g of Mallow Blossoms (#38540) to about 4 l of cold water and let simmer gently for about 30 minutes.
Allow to cool and strain.

Step 2: Put the flowers into a dye bag and re-add them to the bath. Heat to about 70°C with the damp fabric and then remove from the heat immediately.

Depending on the intended color shade, the fabric can rest in the bath even longer but should still be moved from time to time.

Step 3: Either dry unwashed and rinse afterwards or rinse and wash immediately. The oxidation process while drying helps to fix the dye.

NOTE

Dyeing Results: The type of mordant as well as treatment duration have a decisive influence on the dyeing result. Our recipes always aim at the full color shade. Corresponding lighter shades can be achieved by reducing the plant dye and/or diluting the dye bath with water. It is also possible to increase the amount of fabric, but this implies adjusting the quantity of dye bath so that all fibers are covered.

Cleaning: Cleaning pots works best with hot water and citric acid (#64150).
