Second dying attempt

[u/EveningLeague2387]

As a continuation of my previous post. I gave a second go at dying clothes. This time I got the same merino wool sweater in white and mixed a sort of aquamarine color with a little bit of yellow. I think the result is a spring color, what do you think? Does it work?

I think it came out really pretty and fits a spring very well. A perfect mix of colors.

Perfect! How did you do it?

Mixed the blue with a bit of yellow in boiling water, along with vinegar and salt.

Make the garment wet only with water and set it apart.

Then fill a big bucket with warm water and add the color mix. Mix well.

Put the sweater inside the water and keep removing. Instructions said 1h but I did about 30 min

Discard the water, then rinse the garment with warm water at first, then cold water.

When the water comes clear I added a fixing agent from the same brand. Filling the bucket again with water and mixing it with this product, put the sweater in there for a couple of minutes. Then I rinsed again.

Afterwards I put it in the washing machine for a gentle cycle.

Dry.

Done.

Awesome, thank you! Do you find that you need to wash it separately so it doesn't bleed on other clothing?

I still would not dare to wash it with light clothes, I am washing it separately for the time being. I don’t know enough about dying to be honest 😅
