Simple tutorial on how to achieve bright , non bleeding hand-dyed yarn 😊
Steps on preparing the cotton yarn (monaco natural cotton yarn)
1. Make a hank of yarn , from the video i have 400 grams of 8 ply cotton
2. Wash the hank to remove excess wax and dirt
3. Soak the prewashed hank of yarn in a water with distilled vinegar for 1 hour to 1 day.
( 1 tbsp distilled vinegar(fixative) and 2 cups h20 for 100 grams yarn)
4. Squeeze the yarn to remove excess water before hand-dyeing.
Notes:
Don’t dry your yarn in direct sunlight , airdry only
Don’t over boil because this might result in a fringed yarn
Wash only when your dyed cotton is already cool
Tips on dyeing;
1. For darker result
More dye less water
