I don't know who needs to hear this, but Auntie Arwen's doesn't just sell some of the most incredible spice blends (Ultimate Garlic Insanity will water your crops, clear your skin, and heal your grandma), but they also sell supplies for natural fabric and fibre dyeing.

okay so last week i posted about a 1970s fabric dyeing book

i'm going through the scanned pages and the recipes are very neat

this lavender & rosemary recipe will probably be gorgeous, and you can't go wrong with a classic madder red

i'm OBSESSED with the idea of using dandelions!!! its already too hot in my area for them to grow, but i will wait for next april

this fall i'll test the marigolds! they've naturalized in my yard and they practically overtake the grass, so they won't mind

we planted a peach tree back in 2021 and i have never heard of using peach leaves for dye!!! this one i will do ASAP since the squirrels ate all of our peaches this year :(

there are a ton more recipes in this book, so i'll link a part 2 when it's posted!

Do you have a screenprinted shirt/hoodie that's stained? A pair of jeans that you hate the color of? Do you really want that cool merch hoodie but it's only sold in an ugly ass color? Do you want to dye something but not mess up the decal?

You need: fiber reactive dye! This is my how-to; it's enough stuff for a hoodie, a couple t-shirts, and a pair of jeans. About 5lb of cloth when it's dry.

Here's how this hoodie was sold and how it turned out. I bought it before he had the black one in the shop, back when the only color options were pink and blue.

Note: these instructions are for a front-loading washing machine and natural plant fabrics like cotton. Other methods are listed here:

Supplies:

The dye (1 8-ounce jar) https://a.co/d/aR1U5tP

The activator (soda ash, get 2 1-lb bags) https://a.co/d/9di48gH

3 26-ounce containers of non-iodized salt https://www.walmart.com/ip/10448311

A 5-gallon bucket https://a.co/d/12sZoPR

Something to boil 1gal of water in (I did it in 2 batches with my kettle)

Something to stir with (I used a big serving spoon, this dye will NOT stain anything but fabric)

A washing machine, regular laundry stuff

Vinegar

How I did it:

1. Wash the clothes you want to dye normally, but don't add fabric softener.

2. While the load is finishing, put all 3 things of salt, 3 cups (700ish ml) of soda ash, and half a cup (115ish ml) of dye, in the bucket.

3. Boil 1 gallon (4ish liters) of water and pour it in the bucket (I did this by boiling 2L at a time in my kettle)

4. Stir stir stir! Dissolve it as well as you possibly can.

5. When the load is done, take the clothes out.

6. Pour the whole bucket of dye mix straight into the washing machine. I was able to tip the whole bucket into my machine, but do be careful and think ahead on how you're going do this part.

7. Put the wet clothes back in the machine. Don't add anything else like soap.

8. Start the machine, using the hottest and longest cycle possible (on my machine this is the 'whites' setting).

9. Once the cycle is finished, add your regular laundry stuff to the machine (soap, fabric softener), and fill the bleach compartment with vinegar.

10. Run the machine again on the hottest and longest cycle.

11. Tumble or hang dry. Enjoy!

Does anyone have experience dyeing pre-printed shirts? I really like the design of this shirt but the cream isn’t my favorite, so I was thinking of dyeing the background a different color. I’m worried it would also dye the printed design though. Anyone tried this before?

listening to (yet another!) retelling of the Epic of Gilgamesh (this one by OSP ofc) while trimming the small twigs & thorns off rosewood branches to make various anti-vampire & related gear, as I wait for my dye to boil down to dye a leather jacket. just another normal day

so i found this dye book from 1970 and it is such a blast from the past

the author, alma lesch, was actually a prominent textile artist! read about her here and here.

this is the interior cover of the book- obviously the colors are faded but it has an incredible variety of recipes that i'm going to try to test this summer!
