Dyeing
 Where I dye

Ask A Dyer
Nellmight - In one of your podcasts you briefly mentioned colour breaking. I have read a little bit about it, mainly concerning food dyes - especially black food dye, and the results i’ve seen were pretty muddy. So my questions: is colour breaking common/problematic in acid dyeing also? In your dyeing, do you ‘break’ colours on purpose? If you don’t like the colour breaking, are there things you can do to prevent dyes from breaking?
Thanks!

Amber-gabrielle - What would you say is the most halfass lazy approach to dying possible? Strictly for hobby and not for anything pro looking… more just to mess around without being worried about acheiving any specific type of results or making mistakes! :O
love,
amber
