auhiufhdf i was just picking buckthorn berries, and i didnt realize until i was up close to the trees for a while but so many bugs live in them ! there was a particular little guy sitting on a ripe buckthorn berry waving its antennae at me. very good experience, highly recommend

[coriander-candlesticks]

I decided to take advantage of the hot weather (100+ F for at least the next two weeks) and dedicated some time to Athena experimenting with solar dyeing. They've gotta sit for a week before I can rinse them & see the results. If they turn out well I'm going to use them to either knit or weave her a shrine cloth.

I'm using the process from Rosemary & Pines Fiber Arts. The jars are, from left to right: dried spearmint; onion skin and tea bags; all tea bags; and lemon peel, dried rose, and dried eucalyptus.

i loosely followed thedimelions’s tutorial for naturally dyeing a pride flag, with a lot of added research about natural dyes, stains, mordants, sewing, etc, and i wanted to share my results!!

process, notes, and more pics under the read more🌱

starting off i soaked my fabric (100% cotton acquired from joann's during their closing sale, rip joann's ;-;) in a 1:5 mixture of soy milk and water for 12 hours, then let dry on a clothesline in the sun, then dipped and dried two more times (the proteins in the soy milk help the natural dyes adhere to the fabric, creating darker colors and better colorfastness)

while that was happening i started making my dyes, which involved simmering my chosen dyestuffs in some water for 30-60 minutes. i didnt time it, just went until the color developed to a point i was happy with

as far as ratios i didn’t measure, but the more dyestuff = stronger color so err on the side of more

red: turmeric + baking soda, paprika, and yellow onion skin dye as the liquid base

orange: yellow onion skins

yellow: turmeric

green: red cabbage + baking powder (LOTS), turmeric

blue: red cabbage + baking powder

purple: red cabbage

for the red cabbage dyes, i added the baking powders and soda after simmering and just kept adding and stirring till i got the color i wanted. ((BIG NOTE red cabbage, and debatably most of the others that I used, are fugitive dyes, meaning its not a true dye and more of a stain that will fade with time and wash out more easily, especially without mordanting on additives like iron. keep this in mind if you end up doing this project or transfering these methods to cloth you will be using for clothes, ie washing and wearing more frequently))

i also tried to make a pink with avocado skins and pits, which did come out a lovely rosy color, but i didn’t end up using in the final flag, which i might use beet or red cabbage + lemon juice or another acidified for next time to get a more bright pink

now with my dyes ready and my cloth dried out from its previous soy milk dip i cut it into strips and stuck it in the jars, which were placed in the sun for the day (alternatively, you could simmer the cloth in the pot) and then left to sit overnight

the next day i squeezed out the excess dye and gave the ones with turmeric a light rinse to get the grit out, then hung them to dry

((small note i reused the dyes baths to see what would happen since they still looked just as pigmented, but the colors are much much much more faded on the second go around. all in all its doable, but I wouldn't recommend it.))

now time to sew! i procured a second hand sewing machine specifically for this project and had never sewed before, but thankfully this required the easiest stitch in the game (a straight stitch in a straight line). i looked up how to sew a flag specifically to get those clean lines rather than just overlapping, and this video was great (shoutout Suffolk Public Library)

as you can see my flag ended up quite long cause I left a lot of wiggle room, so I just look up flag ratios, trimmed it up (and used the extra strip of rainbow as decoration) then added a white strip folded over to make a way for me to hang it on a stick if I ever so desire.

and ta daaa! i would still like to clean it up a bit, and do a zig zag stitch around the outside to stop the cloth from fraying further, but im happy with the unpolished look of it. once i figure out how to get a pink I like, and how to get browns and blacks, i want to make a progress flag and trans flag. also just started growing some indigo, so excited to see if I can get some blue dyes out of that.

Dyestuff for Cotton Market: Technological Advancements and Future Trends

The dyestuff for cotton market is a vital component of the textile industry, as cotton remains one of the most widely used fibers for textile production globally. The demand for vibrant and long-lasting colors in textiles has led to the growth of the dyestuff industry, particularly in the context of cotton. This article provides an overview of the dyestuff for cotton market, highlighting key trends and dynamics that influence its growth and development.

Market Size and Growth

The dyestuff for cotton market has experienced significant growth over the years, driven by various factors, including population growth, rising disposable incomes, and evolving fashion trends. Cotton is a preferred choice for clothing due to its natural and breathable properties, making it a staple in many wardrobes. This preference for cotton has stimulated the dyestuff market's expansion to meet the increasing demand for vibrant and diverse color options.

According to market research reports, the global dyestuff market for cotton was valued at approximately $4 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5% from 2023 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the continual innovation in dyestuff technology, environmental regulations, and the quest for sustainable and eco-friendly options.

Trends in Dyestuff Technology

Advancements in dyestuff technology have been a key driver in the growth of the dyestuff for cotton market. Manufacturers are constantly working to develop more efficient and eco-friendly dyeing processes. Some notable trends in dyestuff technology include:

Eco-friendly dyes: With increasing concerns about environmental sustainability, there is a growing demand for eco-friendly dyes that reduce water consumption, energy use, and pollution. Eco-friendly dyeing processes, such as cold dyeing and digital printing, have gained popularity.

Nanotechnology: Nanotechnology has made its way into the dyestuff industry, enabling better dye penetration and adhesion to cotton fibers, resulting in enhanced color fastness and reduced dye consumption.

Digital printing: Digital printing technology has revolutionized the textile industry by offering precise and high-resolution color application, minimizing water wastage, and reducing the environmental impact of traditional dyeing processes.

Bio-based dyes: The development of dyes derived from natural sources, such as plants and microorganisms, is gaining traction as a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical dyes.

Sustainability and Environmental Regulations

Sustainability is a driving force in the textile industry and, by extension, in the dyestuff for cotton market. As consumers become more conscious of the environmental impact of their choices, there is a growing demand for sustainable products. Environmental regulations have played a significant role in shaping the dyestuff market. Many countries have stringent regulations in place to control the use of hazardous chemicals in textile dyeing processes.

To comply with these regulations and meet consumer demand for sustainability, dyestuff manufacturers are investing in research and development to create low-impact and non-toxic dyeing solutions. Waterless dyeing techniques, recycling systems, and waste reduction initiatives are becoming essential for businesses in the dyestuff sector.

Market Challenges

While the dyestuff for cotton market offers substantial growth opportunities, it also faces several challenges:

Rising raw material costs: The prices of raw materials used in dye production, such as petrochemicals and intermediates, can be volatile, affecting the cost structure of dyestuff manufacturers.

Competition from synthetic fibers: The popularity of synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon is on the rise, posing competition to cotton and subsequently affecting the dyestuff market's growth.

Technological barriers: The adoption of new and sustainable dyeing technologies can be expensive and complex for manufacturers, hindering their transition to eco-friendly alternatives.

Geopolitical factors: Trade tensions, tariffs, and political instability in key cotton-producing regions can disrupt the cotton supply chain and influence the dyestuff market.

Opportunities for Growth

Despite these challenges, the dyestuff for cotton market growth offers several opportunities for growth and innovation:

Sustainable practices: Embracing sustainable practices not only meets consumer demand but also reduces production costs in the long run by optimizing resource utilization.

Collaboration with fashion brands: Partnering with fashion brands committed to sustainability can create a significant market niche for dyestuff manufacturers.

Customization and personalization: Offering customized dyeing solutions to meet the diverse and unique demands of customers can be a competitive advantage.

Expanding in emerging markets: Emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America present significant growth potential due to increasing disposable incomes and a rising middle-class population.

Conclusion

The dyestuff for cotton market plays a pivotal role in the textile industry, offering a wide range of colors and options to consumers. As the industry strives to become more sustainable and eco-friendly, dyestuff manufacturers are facing both challenges and opportunities. The growth of the market depends on their ability to adapt to changing consumer preferences, comply with stringent environmental regulations, and embrace innovative and sustainable technologies. The dyestuff for cotton market is poised for continued growth, driven by the ever-evolving world of fashion and the increasing emphasis on environmental responsibility.

Oh hey! I think @panickingstudent2 may be referencing one of my videos, which if true that's a very weird feeling, because that video has I think around two hundred views. Anyway, the I think the asker possibly was referencing is my video about the portrait of Feyntje von Steenkiste, the wife of a wealthy Mennonite merchant, painted in the early 1600s, in which I talked about how her very severe presentation was a bit of conspicuous consumption, and included in this I talked about her black dress.

So what I talked about in that video is the fact that at the time a black dress would have been dyed with the new hot dye from the New World, logwood dye, which if properly treated created a fairly stable black dye, something that had not been avaible in Europe before. I talked about how this dye would have been expensive but I also talked about how this dye would have been acquired from the Portuguese possessions in South America, and that this would have had religious implications for a staunch Protestant at the time.

But I want to talk a little bit about why black dyed clothing was a sign of conspicuous consumption in the late middle ages, before the availibility of logwood dye, because black was really, really fashionable in the Iberian Peninsula, and Spanish influenced courts like Burgundy, before there was a colorfast black dye availible. Before logwood, black was derived mostly through overdying, which is to say dying a fabric repeatedly with multiple dyes in multiple baths. It is possible to get a colorfast color this way today, depending on the dyes, mortants, and process, but unfortunately they did not have the means of creating a colorfast black dye at the time. So before logwood, having black clothing was conspicuous consumption because the clothing had to be to an extent disposable. The black was not going to last, and the dye was not going to fade evenly. You could probably reuse the garment, by re-dying it, But any decoration on it would be ruined, so would have to be taken out and redone. This could be a very expensive process. It wasn't that black clothes themselves were individually more expensive in the late middle ages than any other color, but because the garment would not last as long, you are making a statement about your ability to afford to regularly discard and replace clothes. Which given how expensive high quality textiles were, was a real statement.

As a side note, given the Spanish associations with this particular late medieval trend for black, it might have been a way of dealing with the high quality dark brown merino wool. To be clear, I'm spitballing here, but hey, I wouldn't be surprised.

I would not be surprised if the asker is not referencing my video, because again, very few people actually saw it, it just felt so similar to what I had talked about.

So I've seen conflicting stories about the colour black in history.

Some say it's very expensive and hard to maintain, so that's why rich merchants wore black. Evidence in portraits.

Some say that for dyes it's on the cheaper side actually.

Some say the expensive black doesn't come from dye but rather the colour of the animal, so black fabric comes from black fibre which comes from black sheep. How exactly would black sheep be more expensive than regular white sheep?

Which one is right? I know this is probably influenced by which century it's set in, like maybe some eras have an easier time getting black dye

I found a well-sourced blog post about this, luckily, because I'm a 19th-century focused researcher and I've heard conflicting things about black in earlier periods. It seems to be that high-quality black-dyed fabric was difficult to obtain in the west from the Middle Ages potentially through the 18th century because it required massive amounts of dye to get the color very deep ("true black"). Lesser black shades were quite common, though, so black, period, doesn't seem to be more expensive than any other color. Possibly the intensively dyed, deep blacks might have been? But not black in general.

source

Rich merchants did wear black- but so did other people. They just usually didn't have portraits.

The black sheep thing I've never heard before. And anyway, that could only apply to wool- not cotton, linen, silk, leather, etc.
