Tingir ~ Dyeing
Ola!
Apesar da minha longa ausencia, estive sempre a tricotar e a fazer outras coisas mais. Um inicio complicado deste ano de 2014 deixou-me um pouco recatada, mas espero agora estar de volta.
Aqui ha umas semanas, a minha amiga Ruth ensinou-me a tingir la usando corantes alimentares. Para que a cor pegue e necessaria a presenca de acidez. Ha aqui a venda uns pacotinhos de po para fazer refresco (Kool Aid), aos quais e necessario adicionar acucar e agua para preparar. Contem, entre outros ingredientes, acido citrico e corante e assim sao faceis de usar para principiantes.
Estas cores foram a minha primeira tentativa; usei Black Cherry e Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade. Dividi ao meio um novelo Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool na cor Natural.
Hello!
Despite my long absence I didn't stop knitting and doing other things. A complicated start to this year of 2014 left me with the need to withdraw, but I hope to be back now.
A few weeks ago, my friend Ruth taught me how to dye yarn using food dyes. For the color to stick you need acidity. The Kool Aid drink mix packets contain both the food coloring and citric acid and so easy to use for beginners.
This was my first attempt at dyeing; I used Black Cherry and Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade. I divided a ball of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool (in the color Natural) in half.
