Natural Dyes - Why use them?
Natural dyes produce an extraordinary diversity of rich and complex, and the results unexpected, that's exciting to use. It is easy to design using natural colors, since they complement each other well, and rarely shock. synthetic dyes by contrast, are often bright and loud and require more skill matching color.
Naturally dyed yarns are full of pleasant surprises, besides being great motivators. You will find that you can not wait to return to work on the bridge point, cotton, blanket or cushion tissue and is probably end up with unfinished or abandoned projects very few. Another advantage is that a surplus line project can be easily incorporated into the next, avoiding a stash of yarn unwanted.
When is it coming?
Most natural dyes from dye plants, the best known are pastel, welding and craziest Europe, and Brazil wood, logwood and indigo in the tropics. Some, like the cochineal insect from a small number, including salts iron and copper from mineral sources.
plant dyes may contain various compounds and their proportions vary with the type of soil and climate where Plants were grown. A yarn-dyed with blond roots has a lot of color variations, while the same yarn dyed with their synthetic counterparts, alizarin lacks the subtle variation in color and can be very uniform.
How permanent?
Some people think that plants produce only pale colors and these colors fade quickly. Several plants in fact the fugitive plant performance or pale traditional colors of dye, but produce vibrant blue, green, red and yellow, which can last for centuries.
If you look at well-preserved textiles in museums, you will see that the old natural dyes as well. The same red a Persian rug mellows just finished in different shades of dye lots more that have been used, giving much pleasure to the eye. synthetic dyes, on the other hand, vanish and immature.
The secret of the bright colors and long lasting, good preparation and as bread, natural dyes require time. The threads must be cleaned and etched prior to staining. You can sit in the dye vat an hour up to a month and the benefit of curing colors before the yarn is washed. Some people daunted by this long process, but most of the time the thread is left unattended and can be followed with something else.
Mordants
What about the biting? Is not toxic chromium? Although chromium has often been used as a mordant, no need to use if you want. The currently most popular mordant wool used are alum and cream of tartar and are quite safe. Alum, for example, is used to treat drinking water and cream of tartar is used to bake cakes.
How long does it take?
Short on time? Synthetic dyes are like fast food, well if they want quick results. They are also the solution pragmatic whether to repeat the same color, exactly, although that calculation is more and measures to achieve this goal. extracts of natural dyes, however, are just as quick to use as synthetics, but they produce the natural colors of real natural dyes.
Natural dyes generally require large amounts of synthetic dyes. To dye 100 grams of wool, for example, you may have up to 50 grams of dried madder root. extracts of natural dyes do not require such large quantities and 10 grams of blonde should easily extract 100 grams of wool dyeing. Some natural dyes are very strong and small quantities of brazil cochineal logwood dye and a lot of fiber. Synthetic dyes can be less expensive to buy than natural dyes, but the main cost is the time if its growth own plant dyes, and if you use the sun as an energy source.
Start now!
Nothing like the satisfaction of growing your own colors and be self dyes. Welding and pie grow quickly and can be harvested in the same season, will have to wait at least three years, however, by craziest decent sized roots to develop. Besides color, chamomile dyers dye plants and several others give a pleasant aromatic smell when cooked low heat. Growing your own produce the dye should be sufficient to allow for endless experimentation. Imagine traveling the country, and find that the colors of the people change of clothing from North to South. Instead of the High Street uniformity, may be regional colors on the base of the plants that grow there and the water chemistry local.
Unlike synthetic dyes, natural dyes are not dependent on nonrenewable resources. With today's increasing environmental awareness, people are more likely to use natural fibers and natural colors. In fact, the Soil Association, says on its website that its standards for organic products can use only natural dyes.
The use of natural dyes is both exciting and addictive. Start now and see what it is. And if you can not wait to grow dye plants, the use of natural dye extracts and get a head!
