Since my roommate is hogging the washing machine, I decided to document my dyeing adventures in the meantime!

First off: Supplies!!!

dyeables, in this case: white cotton flannel and voile (sourced via my aunt and local fabric store) ~2,2 lbs

soda ash (regular degular cleaning agent) used as a fixing agent

sodiumsulfate aka glauber salt (also a laxative, sourced from a health/detox shop in a 2,5kg bucket) so that the dyes better penetrate

the dyes: dharma trading company's fiber reactive procion dyes for natural fibers in dark green and better blue green

a set of metal measuring spoons because my european ass did not own any prior to this

a giant bucket with liter markings (hardware store), originally meant for mixing cement and stuff

a wooden stick for stirring (also hardware store)

dust mask & gloves bc work safety and i do NOT want dark green lungs or hands (not pictured)

an insane amount of water (6 gallons, which is ~23l, also not pictured bc i need it at least lukewarm)

a bowl for premixing dyes and soda ash with water so that they dissolve completely
