Overdyeing with Natural Dyes with Dagmar Klos - DVD
Just as primary colors blue, red, and yellow combine to produce the rest of the color wheel, natural dyes can be combined and modified to produce a full color palette.
Building off principles discussed in Dagmar Klos's companion workshop Natural Dyeing, in this video, she will demonstrate how to create a full range of hues and tones using the process of overdyeing.
By dyeing fiber or yarn multiple times with varying colors, you can create new and vibrant results that aren't possible with just one dye bath.
You'll learn:
- The basic dyestuffs that complete the natural color wheel
- The materials and equipment you'll need for overdyeing
- Important safety practices for natural dyeing
- How to prepare an indigo dyebath for dyeing and overdyeing
- How to prepare dye extracts for overdyeing
- How to use iron, acids, and other modifiers to shift colors
In her relaxed and engaging style, Dagmar shows you how easy it is to use natural dyes and gives tips and techniques to get exactly the color you want through overdyeing. With Dagmar's experience and Mother Nature's palette at your command, you'll soon be off on your own natural color adventures.
