Dye Time

When I've been dyeing plant based fibres with fibre reactive dyes, I usually have some dyes left over. Fibre reactive dyes won't keep in a solution for long (I really need to test how long fibre reactive dyes keep!). I don't like to just throw it down the drain, so in this video, I used the leftover dyes to create some fun socks. These socks are not matching but they are a pair. They're fun and there's no way I'd be able to replicate these results exactly.

Fibre reactive dyes can be used on plant based fibre and animal based fibres. Acid dyes can only be used on animal based fibres.

I have a monthly yarn subscription that can be purchased through my Patreon:   / fromthecauldron   Each month you'll receive 100g of yarn in your chosen weight dyed in a mystery colourway and some goodies made by other small businesses. Another perk for Patreons is they get early access to the video where I dye that month's yarn and they get to vote for next month's theme.
