Kimono Dyed
Gradation Dying Cotton Help?
I’m making a kimono out of white medium weight cotton. I want to dye the bottom of it a deep purple and have it transition up from purple, to magenta, to a gold/ deep yellow. I plan to dye each section prior to sewing it together. I just need to know how to achieve this gradation properly. Which dye should I use? (Rit? Fiber Reactive?) and how can I achieve the most smooth, and intense colour gradation possible?
Thanks!
Rit or Procion would be my preference. Transition dyeing is quite difficult, so do a test piece first. Ways: Dip the hem end first, take it out, let damp dry, dilute the dye, dip from the same end, and repeat. But when you reach the gold part, you will probably need to dip from the other end. An alternative might be to dye the whole thing in the gold first and see what effect you get by over-dyeing with the purple. If you really want the magenta, which is not really a true gradation from the purple (in my opinion), have a separate dye bath for that, and repeat the dyeing process with the purple still damp, and see what the over-dye effect is like.
Sorry that’s a bit garbled. Have a look at The Dye Forum
