Every now and then (here or here or here ) * * huuust is indeed something ;-) my weakness for beautiful braids come to light. I admit it: I am a hunter and collector! I love to hunt in the famous auction house after the really old lace, to then colorize. you can imagine that my Herzilein made a giant leap when I learned of Sanna's peak and trimmings shop . * * As leeechz I still have seen the super cheap prices to me would be able to keep anything.
This here is of course a crazy bargain! But what you do with 33 m off-white lace cotton in such a high quality?
There can be only one answer: colored!
And since I am repeat offender, there is a little tutorial for you.
You need: of course the great tips, salt, color, Laundry nets!
The salt may be the best at the discount. The color ... well, I like to paint it with the real colors of Simplicol. They are Although more expensive than the normal textile inks, but I have a special advantage: they are liquid. Thus, even small amounts of metered well and you can mix colors well. A disposable syringe and a bit of color to feel - you're ready to go!
Oh yes, if your retail is as great as our filter: Brauns-Heitmann has a online store! I order my colors only there, and always have stock in house.
Small amounts (up to 3 m tip) can be colored in the bucket. Since this variant of the question came to me ;-), is it right to continue in-the-color-washing machine.
have gemetzel * * First, I first Map of this tip here:
in approximately three equal parts divided. Each piece comes in a laundry net. Please take the major networks, not the small temple for bras. Anyone who has ever drawn a border after washing from the machine and was able to get down to untangle, will love me for this tip! :-) In the laundry net entangled itself not a 10-m piece particularly. Unravel including ironing takes for me half an hour. Another tip: I paint it with anything that is not at 1-2-3 on the tree! Sometimes there are towels, which I like for some reason or do I need color in the kitchen and throw the dish towels clean. This time also had a winter bath to believe that I seemed a bit too pale.
Notice the weight in the flyer from the color package and the corresponding mapped colors. Since the tips do not really weigh much, you can loose for the lightest shade for at least two towels with them.
simply work under the guidance further. Important is the high water level in the machine so the fabric can swim well in the dyebath. And when you work, you who have spared thanks to the laundering network, do not give versaubeuteln again: Speed for the spin off!
When several color shades would like to: try only the light! If not satisfied they can still be colored with a darker shade.
Once the peaks have their Fixierwaschgang behind him, I take it out of the machine and let them just half a day to air dry. In the semi-wet dry iron I then without steam.
Attention: Please pay attention to color fastness of the ironing pad! In a dark red base rather inferior even an old towel.
And this is how the finished colored borders of:
In the background color of the renewed Winterfrottee. :-)
Here again a reference to the various nuances that can be achieved with only one Färbegang:
The first and the third border were previously off-white, the bottom was white and the wide border was more beige. A Färbegang = various shades.
should be really white borders and tips for very bright colors. I had no desire to discolor them and was curious about the result. :-)
The second photo is the way in the background of one of my towels, which had to believe in it this time.
:-) Have fun coloring!
