The name indigo comes from the Roman term indicum, which means a product of India. This is somewhat of a misnomer since the plant is grown in many areas of the world, including Asia, Java, Japan, and Central America. Another ancient term for the dye is nil from which the Arabic term for blue, al-nil, is derived. The English word aniline comes from the same source. Step 4: Wet your jeans and add them to your dye and water mix. Simmer at a consistently low temperature throughout your dyeing process. Stir slowly in a circling motion continuously for the first 10 minutes. Use a spoon or laundry tongs to stir. Don’t use your hands. When desired color is achieved, remove from dye bath. Jeans will look darker when wet and will dry lighter. Squeeze out excess dye.

Arashi involves twisting, wrapping and binding of the cloth around a pole. The fabric is wrapped around a pole and then bound. The cloth can be wrapped diagonally, or not, depending on which direction you want your lines to go. Another distinction of slasher dyeing compared to rope dyeing is that the dyeing vats need to be more colour-consistent to ensure that the entire sheet is dyed evenly. With rope dyeing, you have natural inconsistency in the amount of indigo that the yarn is exposed to, which creates a planned unevenness in the fabric when the yarn is laid out. Test color by dipping a paper towel into the dye bath. If color is too light, add more dye. If color is too dark, add more water.Wait for 15 to 20 minutes while the coffee brews and the darker the coffee the darker the stain. Drop-in your jeans making sure they go completely under the water without spilling any of the dye and let sit overnight. shell: The normally hard, protective outer covering of something. It could cover a mollusk or crustacean (such as a mussel or crab), a bird’s egg or some other relatively soft tissue that needs protection (such as a tree nut or peanut).

Both the extent of reduction and the rate at which equilibrium between the reduced and oxidized from is achieved are of practical significance. Vat dyes vary in the speed with which Make sure you leave some ‘give’ (only a very slight give!) when you wrap it as this will make the next steps easier. Step 4: Secure Your Thread Once you have wrapped your entire fabric with as much, or as little string as you’d like, tie off the string securely so that it will not unravel during the scrunching stage, or the dyeing process.

The technique is simple but time-consuming. Bundles of yarn, known as ‘skeins,’ are first rinsed to open the fibres. Then, the skeins are dipped in the dyeing vat, usually numerous times. Next, they’re washed and then dipped again. Fill the washing machine with hot water. Set the washing machine to the hottest water cycle available. Turn the machine on and allow it to fill up. You don't have to wait for it to finish filling before moving on to the next step.

The process of using tea is similar to the process of using coffee. You need to use about 40 tea bags and let them steep for about 15 minutes. Plus, the water needs to be about boiling hot or a little less for the dyeing process to work. Cold water won’t do it here.Step 7: Rinse the jeans in warm water. Gradually reduce the water temperature as the dye comes out. Rinse until the water runs clear. Wash in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse and dry as normal.

There are many different types of shibori available to you but I’d like to concentrate on one of my favourite techniques: Arashi shibori. This method is not recommended if you are using a public laundry room. The residue might ruin the next person's laundry. Several simpler compounds can be produced by decomposing indigo; these compounds include aniline and picric acid. The only chemical reaction of practical importance is its reduction by urea to indigo white. The indigo white is reoxidized to indigo after it has been applied to the fabric.

In this guide, I’m going to concentrate on the patterns and designs you can create using a technique known as shibori.Originally produced in France, the popular weave of the fabric was known as Serge de Nimes. Over time, the French term was anglicized into de-nim or denim. A denim weave creates a heavy and durable fabric, almost canvas-like in appearance but softer to wear. If you’re using the stove-top method, make sure that the water is still just under a boil. Don't turn the stove off.
