BASE STUDY: Join us on a yarn dyeing adventure. Please, ask questions, share ideas, come play along. To dye the silk, I soaked in for 10 minutes in a citric acid bath (after a water and detergent bath overnight). I custom mixed my 3 golden shades and hand painted the silk. To set the dye, I steamed the skeins and allowed to cool in the steamer. 🐯okay folks, so what do you think? Are the things that I should do differently to dye silk? Yes, one example, silk needs to cook a good long time to set. Way longer than wool.
