Eira is now two years and two months, but I knitted for a four year child adapting different patterns to my own.

Solar dyeing last summer

2008-03-27T02:01:00.006+01:00

Finally I've uploaded some pics of my my experiment with solar dyeing last summer at Flickr. It was not so sunny, so it took some time to exhaust the dye in the jar. You can also figure out how I made my owens - after not succeeding so well without. Here I use Wilson and other forms of food colouring. They come in several shades and are fun to work with with kids outside if the summer is warm. In Sweden you can purchase the colours from Kakburken.se They are however cheaper from several British sites if you are a Swede. Cf my set with dyeing in the ball in my micro with food colouring available in ordinary super markets (yellow, green & red, mixable)!

Handdyed in the ball

Handdyed in the ball, originally uploaded by bildlek.

If you click the heading you will find a set of "Dyeing in the ball". I used food colours, except for the lilac (acid dye) and citric acid found in ordinary shopping markets. We do not have Koolid in Sweden. My experiment with solar dyeing will come later. Pretty OK, but we have not had a lot of sun lately.

Om du klickar på rubriken hittar du ett set med hur jag färgat i nystanet med mest karamellfärg och citronsyra. Går lika bra som med det amerikanska saftpulvret Koolaid. Kul om man vill färga med barn. Det går även att blanda till färgen, måla härvor, lägga i glasform o köra ca 6 minuter i mikron. Men blöt då härvan dessförinnan i en halvtimme i ljummet vatten med lite citronsyra eller ättika.

Mitt solfärgningsexperiment i burkar var hyfsat, redogörelse o bilder kommer, men vi har ju inte haft mycket sol att tala om, så mikron är snabbare.

Äntligen sol och reviderad färgningslänk

2007-07-16T12:08:00.000+02:00

Idag, när solen äntligen lyser igen testar jag "solar dyeing", både i kittel, en plasthink och enstaka garnnystan i glasburkar. Måste kanske flytta över det shetlandsgarn jag har i hinken i ett plattare kärl om jag vill ha ett så här fint resultat, scrolla ner, klicka på bilden så ser du det plattare kärlet också. Jag redovisar resultat även om det blir negativt.

Jag har även reviderat min faq-länk om färgning av garn från februari 2005
