ONION SKINS | HOW to NATURAL DYE at HOME | How to use POTASSIUM ALUM as a MORDANT | Casa Caribe

When Dyeing with natural colours in order to get a bright yellow we need to pre-treat and mordant the fabric with potassium alum.

in the last video, we cooked together, caramelized onion; in this video, I teach you how to dye with the food waste of that recipe: onion skins

Your video is so helpful! Is the dye bath warm or cool when you add the fabric?

Thank you so much for your wonderful video. The internet has become such a foray of pure nonsense it's a breath of fresh air to find "real" content. Nice, simple, straight forward information made with the intention of helping others. Thank you again!

I'm a guy that likes tye-dying and have done a bunch of T-shirts for my family. They have been amazingly popular and my grandkids wear theirs all of the time (to my surprise.)
This time I am using a combination of purple onion skins and brown onion skins to see what comes out. I suspect it will be more of a dusky purple than anything else but we'll see. That's the fun of tie-dye. We just experiment until we get it right. I'll see if I can send you a few photos. Thanks for your information and technique. Very helpful.

[cindyperez]

great video! can I dye a linen with this process twice? say, for example, I do this process for the first time, but then the colour is too light, can i repeat the process on an already dyed piece of linen?

[cecilybailey]

So in this one you do not rinse the mordant out of the fabric before the dye bath?? Do you scour fabric first?

[aventuraseneldesiertodecal]

Que creativa eres, estaría bien en español!!! Vídeos en español siii?

Is it necessary to cook/heat the vegetables to make the dye or would soaking vegetables in a jar of water outside in the sun for 48 hours work equally as well? I have 3 jars brewing now of cabbage, beet, black beans and the water is very vibrant and rich. It's easier to use glass jars in the sun rather than pots and pans on the oven. But I wasn't sure if cooking the plant material was chemically necessary to set the dye or not. Thanks

Guide for golden colours, thank for vedio

I have only alum, which I think is aluminium sulfate. Would it work well as mordant?
