Farbanje pelena?

[Janoccka]

Farbanje pelena bojom za tkaninu, glupo ili ne?
Nije da mi nešto previše smeta ali sve pelene su mi iste....
Očito imam viška vremena pa mi svašta pada na pamet....

[marta]

Probaj prirodnim bojama (tipa cikla, spinat) ako ti nije bitno da bude intenzivno pofarbano.

Umrijet ću od smijeha :D !

Znala sam da ćeš me ti ismijati!

Probaj prirodnim bojama (tipa cikla, spinat) ako ti nije bitno da bude intenzivno pofarbano.

Zgodna ideja.... Misliš da se ne bi brzo ispralo?

[Amalthea]

Baci ih na kuhanje s nečim zelenim, kak je to napravila moja mama.
Mislim... em ih je skuhala, em joj se pomotala nekakva zelena krpa.

Sad imam nekoliko nježno zelenih pelena... je da s vremenom boja polako blijedi, ali eto - i to ti je način :namig:

[marta]

ja ih ne bih kuhala. mislm to je najjednostavniji nacin, ali si tako unistavas pelene, cicak, gumice...

postoje one neke boje u dm-u koje idu i na manje temperature, sve zguras u masinu pa farbaj. sto vise stavis boja je svijetlija.

a za ove prirodne, probaj naribati ciklu, iscjediti i razrjediti pa u to potopi pelene. onda ih prebaci u vodu s octom, ostavi da odstoje, pa ih operi bez praska i opet stavi malo octa u vodu za ispiranje. mislim da se to onda nece ni jako ispirati. al nece biti ni posebno jaka boja.

Sačekat ću da vidim koja mi boja treba

[klmama]

ja baš ne bi farbala industrijskim bojama :/ ipak imaju svakakve sastojke unutra, a pelena ide direkt na kožu, a boja će se ispirati još stoljećima, a pelene su uvijek vlažne....mislim da nije pametno.

ja sam svojedobno kad su mi stigle nove gaćece od flisa, crvene, oprala veš s njima i sve bijelo je u trenu postalo rozo.(slučajno).

američke mame koriste (pazi sad!) boje za hranu ili Kool Aid (to ti je onaj sok FlavorAid ako pamtiš iz djetinjstva). Dobiju impresivne rezultate, ali rezultat se vidi samo na životinjskim vlaknima (vuna), teže na biljnim.

ili kako marta kaže, prirodnim biljnim načinom. ako te zanimaju linkovi, zakeljit ću.

[Janoccka]

Stavi mi linkove, molim te, kada stigneš! Nije hića!

[litala]

ja sam jednom slucajno nasla paketic Giotto flomastera za crtanje po tkanini. ispisala sam nekoliko majica mm-u. crtas sto hoces, prepeglas za fiksiranje i moze se prati na 40-60. traje vec skoro dvije godine. jedino sto zuta i zelena najbrze izblijede jer su onako flourescentne.

meni je to palo na pamet jer imam ful bijele indisposables. pa ih cesto naopacke krenem stavljat mislila sam crtat smajlice na guzicu. i nije u kontaktu s bebinom kozom...

eto, cisto kao ideja...

e, ali vise ne nalazim te flomice :/

[klmama]

samo za ideju, ja sam na svoje dosadne bijele napeglala one zakrpe .
jedna je otpala u drugom pranju , druga se drži super. valjda ovisi o materijalu na koji peglaš.
ali super izgleda, samo nemojte molim vas skuriti sad pelene zbog mene ....

Dye-ing Natural Fibers with Kool-Aid?

Not all fibers will effectively ‘take’ a Kool-Aid dye and hang on to it through multiple wash/dry cycles. You will need to use protein fibers.
· Wool
· Mohair
· Angora
· Alpaca
· Silk

Wool Brand Recommendations:

* Berella Muskoka, a 100% machine washable merino wool. This recommendation was made by Amanda Gill and purchased at Hobby Lobby. Her experience has been that the Kool-Aid dye does not fade - even following several runs through washer and dryer.
* Natural Wool brand (8 ply double knit worsted weight)
* Organic Merino from Treliske Organics
* Briggs & Little (available in Canada)
* Lion Brand Fisherman's wool (available at Joanne's and Michael's)
* Green Mountain Spinnery's wool uses absolutely no petroleum products in the spinning process and have an organic worsted weight wool yarn.

MDC Mommas’ Show And Tell Time!:

topk92:
”The Purple-Teal one is Koolaid dyed at the top, with purple yarn used for the bottom (I wanted to limit the colour getting on diapers).”

KoolAid dyed knit Organic Wool soaker (Berry Blue and Ice Blue Rasberry Lemonade).



Scarlet:



Pamelamama of Wooly Wonders follows Amanda Gill's method for dyeing wool yarn, but uses a medicine dropper to apply the color to the yarn.

allformyboys of The Cushie Tushie:

Kool-aid dyed, yellow=2 packets lemonade, blue=2 packets berry blue, green=1 packet lemonade-1 packet ice blue lemonade:



allformyboys’ Dyeing Method:

1. Fill a big bowl with warm/hot water . . . adding a few glugs of vinegar.
2. Add the wool yarn and soak.
3. Prepare your Kool-Aid by putting the powder in a glass jar or cup (she prefers using a jar b/c she can shake it up) and add water. She also suggests using as little water as you can in ratio to the Kool-Aid Powder.
4. Take the wool from the soak and squeeze out the extra water, place in a glass pan or dish (she uses a pyrex cake dish) and pour dye over it.
5. If doing more than one color, then add one color at a time and make sure the dye is soaked in - trying not to touch it to the other colors (prevents bleeding - although some will happen a bit).
6. Use colors that will blend well.
7. Once the dye is poured and soaked in, squish it with your hands a bit and put it in the microwave for 6 minutes, let it sit for 2-5 minutes and then cook on high for another 6 minutes. As a sidenote: If you do not wear gloves you will color your hands! :LOL (see below)
8. Let cool and rinse 'til water is clear (usually quick - as almost all the Kool-Aid soaks in).
9. Hang to dry - she prefers to do this on her line or in her laundry room
10. Wrap in a ball when done.

Dyed with Natural Wool brand (8 ply double knit worsted weight) according to allformyboys’ method :



Yarn: The purple/blue and sageish green aren't koolaid, but the orange, yellow, green, blue/green/yellow multi, and red/white/blue multi are all koolaid dyed! (the green one is a work in progress) The formulas are as follows:

1. Orange= 8 packets of orange koolaid 110 grams of wool, 5 oz water.
2. Green=6 packets of green/lemon-lime koolaid 200 grams of wool 6-8 oz of water. I used one packet first and dyed the darker spots then did 5 more packs all over to blend it in (cool effect)
3. Yellow=8 packets of lemonade 110 grams of wool, 5 oz water (yellow is hard to get bright)
4. Blue/green/yellow multi=yellow=2 packets lemonade- 6 oz water, blue=2 packets berry blue- 6 oz water, green=1 packet lemonade-1 packet ice blue lemonade- 6oz water.
5. Red/white/blue=red=5 packets tropical punch-5 oz water, white=natural/undyed, blue=5 packets of berry blue-5 oz water.

baileysmommy discovered that Dr. Bronner's is terrific from removing the KA from the hands . . . seemed to get it all off except for around the creases of the fingernails.

Amanda Gill’s Dyeing Method:

1. Soak the yarn in a mixture of warm water and a 'glug' of white vinegar.
2. As yarn is soaking, prepare drink mix.
3. If painting the skeins (to get a number of colors in one skein, you can use small plastic cups to mix the powder with water)
4. Use one package of powder with about 1/4 cup warm water (more water = lighter shade, less water = brighter shade).
5. Squeeze any excess water from yarn and place in microwave-safe container (an 8x8 glass casserole dish works well).
6. Paint the yarn using a plastic syringe, a stencil brush or anything else to apply the color to the fiber.
7. Place container of yarn in microwave.
8. Cook on high for 2 minutes, let rest for 2 minutes, cook for 2 more minutes.
9. Allow entire container to cool and when cool enough to handle, rinse in water at same temperature as yarn until water runs clear.
10. Gently squeeze as much liquid out as possible and hang yarn to dry.

Don’t have a microwave? No problem!

reeseccup’ Dyeing Method:

1. Using about 2 gallons of water to about 1 cup of vinegar, add Kool-Aid (more Kool-Aid packages = darker/less = lighter) once water is hot (but not boiling – barely steamy) Sidenote: You can pretreat the wool in hot water and vinegar ahead of time if preferred.
2. Add a hank of 100% wool yarn, stirring every so often.
3. When water is clear enough to see the bottom, and yet with a little color still, add another hank of yarn to get a lighter shade of the same color.
4. When water is clear, strain and rinse in cold water, then do a wash as you would if it were a finished product (with wool wash) and hang dry.

megtell’s Microwave Method:

For each color:

1 envelope unsweetened Kool Aid
6 oz water
2 oz white vinegar
1 microwave safe baggie

1. Fill a pot with warm water--put your wool or silk in, let it soak about 20 minutes, stirring so it is all soaked.
2. While waiting, I poured the water and vinegar and envelope into the baggie.
3. Remove the wool from the water, squeeze out. Place in the baggie, roll around so it gets totally covered. Place in microwave (you might want to place it in a dish in case it spills) and set for 2 minutes.
4. KEEP AN EYE on it, as natural fibers CAN catch fire in the microwave. Do NOT allow to dry out.
5. If you do not have access to a microwave oven, you can use a vegetable steamer and steam for half an hour.
6. When you remove it from the microwave, it will be HOT. I used a towel to squish it around. You need to squish it around until the water is clear. You might even put it in for another minute at a time, squish a lot, until the water runs clear.
7. Allow to cool. The time spent gradually cooling will allow more bonding to occur.
8. Rinse. Using cool water, rinse until the water that runs off no longer contains dye.

Laundering. When laundering becomes necessary, wash in cool water on the delicate cycle, or hand wash; be sure to follow any care instructions for wool.

MDC Momma’s Wool Weight of Choice

1. allformyboys prefers 8 ply double knit worsted weight natural wool.
2. topk92 prefers 85% wool, 15% mohair blend, as it's softer, and it behaves just like 100% wool soaker-wise.
3. scarlet got her wool by taking apart a lambswool sweater bound for
Goodwill!
