For my next project I needed a black canvas. I made several stores near me without finding, and buying online is too expensive because of the cost of posts (from the USA or Europe). Not very economical solution donc.J have therefore decided to do an experiment with dyeing fabric scraps white Aida. I had little to lose and everything to me cost just $ 1 per box of Tintex noir.J have tested with 3 different pieces. By soaking the tissue for 3 hours for the color absorbs well and the black is as dark as possible. Then rinse and séchage.Résultat my experience: after a good ironing, I noticed that the tissues are not exactly the same hue. The largest piece seems very dark blue rather than black, while the two towns are really black. The tissues were not from the same source, so probably a little different.
But it is not a problem because the dye is very dark and uniform (except for a small place, which will be covered by the embroidery thread). This is a first attempt and I am quite satisfied. Hoping that the color will not fade to friction when I work. We'll see.
I am ready to begin my new project ... To be continued ...
