Blue dyeing is more done by enthusiasts. However, many of them are mixed with fish and dragons, and many of them are also mixed with them to pretend to be natural plant dyes.
The water is very deep. In recent days, people have been asking me, why is my dyeing solution different from yours? It's all blue, not green? The cloth also does not have an unrecorded green. There are many reasons for this, and I will answer you in this small article.
The main reason is that the technique of plant dyeing has not been mastered. This seems simple, but it is not. For example, bluegrass to make blue, not soaked in water for a few days, add lime can be. It is necessary to have a temperature, and the sun is basked for 48 to 72 hours, and the bluegrass rots and ferments before the next step can be carried out. How much is lime added? It is also proportional, not arbitrary. Dyeing should also have temperature and time, and then oxidation should be sufficient. Learn the craft, learn first and then ask, learn a businessman in three years, and learn a craftsman in ten years. Stopped.
Or look at the indigo cloud dye pattern of the author's new work in the past few days:
This is a pattern design made by hand dyeing for printing companies. You can dye N patterns with different effects every day, faster than a computer. It can be imitated, but it is difficult to surpass.
Some people don't think so, isn't it "tie-dye"? See clearly! Are there any traces of tying?
Such a complex pattern, if it is really a tie, it will exhaust the individual.
The dyeer said seriously: Traditional Chinese dyeing has never had the saying "tie-dye", only stranded valerian. This group of authors is a branch of the stranded valerian, called "cloud dyeing", like the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, which can be encountered and cannot be sought. Because there are no two clouds in the world that are the same.
