I always have turmeric( for cooking curry) in my pantry. So I dyed a small swatch with turmeric and to check the fabric. Here's is my formula:
-Boil one table spoon of turmeric with 5 cups of water.
-Let it simmer for 30 mins to cook the turmeric.
-Wash swatch thoroughly with cold water to remove any impurities. -Dip the wet swatch in curry broth and let it simmer in very low heat for 20-30 mins.
-Remove swatch from curry broth and rinse in cold water to remove excess dye stuff.
-Hang to dry.
-After the swatch has dried, check the swatch for imperfections.
a. Are there any uneven spots on the swatch?
b. Do you like the intensity of the color?
I was immensely happy with this fabric, it took color beautifully. We are using this for S/S 12! Have you experimented with natural dyeing?
