How can I get pigment dyed light knit fabric? What's the recipe for this dyeing?

Without more details like the fabric type, the pigment, the end use, fabric construction, etc, the best answer is that you dip the fabric in a slurry of the pigment under various pH conditions depending on many things, then add a binder if needed and dry.\n\nHere are examples found by a simple web search.\n\nhttp://www.prochemical.com/directions/PigmentDyeing.htm\n\nhttp://textileinfo.com/en/tech/imada/sennsyoku/page04.html

I would do rainbow colors. Or maybe even hot pink w/glitter and glow in the dark glitter. That is strawbery flavored. He if you are going to do it, do it w/style. WHy dont you also shave your pubes in some weird pattern? And then dye it.

Actually, making a pattern on cloth by twisting and wrapping before applying dye didn't start in the 1960s.\n\nIt's a practice that's 3000 (and more) years old!\n\nI've included links below for your reading pleasure.

1. Get old newspaper.\n2. Soak it. Completely saturate it with water.\n3. Stick it in a blender. Add some ink or even food coloring. Turn it into a pulp.\n4. Try to find some fine mesh. Chicken wire works, if it's fairly closely spaced. Pour the concoction over it. Put paper towels and a book on top to press it.\n5. Dry overnight. Be careful when you peel it off.\n\nOld blue jeans also work (arguably better), but they'll kill your blender.

just print out lots of color stuff until the old pinkish colors fade\n\nGot to agree thats an amusing gambit

This can be achieved several ways for any fabric or substrate (wood, metal, china etc) using different transfer paper and/or inks.\n\n1st: For 100% cotton you use plastisol inks and for mixed cotton/polyester you can use dye sublimation inks - remember to buy prewashed fabric or be prepared to get your marigolds out or see your designs fade fast!  :)\n\n2nd: Your designs will have to be corrected depending on the color of the garment - using RIP software.\n\n3rd: You can apply these inks using Inkjet printers, Laser printers or traditional screen printing methods onto the specially coated transfer paper OR print direct onto the fabric/t-shirt using specially adapted Epson InkJet.\n\n4th: Sit with a pair of scissors and cut out your design or invest in a Roland cutting machine to do it effortlessly for you.\n\n5th: You then have to press the transfer onto the fabric using heat to activate the special inks to bond with the fabric. You can use a household iron or a swanky air operated heat press for approx 15-30 secs for each transfer.\n\n...As you can imagine, depending on your budget, there are many options. Go get a coffee, and meet the gang over at the screen printers forums below. Have a good read through "Digital Printing" forum threads before posting this question to everyone - there have been many upcoming printers that have started where your from...including me! - enjoy it and be prepared to be guided in making YOUR right decision based on location, orders, budget, type of hand(feel of print), local availability and quick delivery of inks and paper and fabric compared to speed of service in repair of printers, heatpress etc - Phew, I'm off to get a coffee!!!

I'm not sure I understand your question, but woven fabric is still the most common type.  Knits are a close second, and felted or matted fabrics a distant third.

Yes. Do a Google search on tannin dyes.

A dye is a molecule or chemical which absorbs light more at some visible \nwavelengths than at others.\nAdded to a clear medium, it gives clear colors.  Transparent, not even \nmilky or translucent.\nAdded to an opaque medium such as concrete, the opacity remains, some \ncolor is added,\nand the net gray-equivalent brightness is always reduced, because a dye \ncan only absorb light.\n\nA pigment is a mixture of dye and an opacifying agent,\nsuch as white oxide powders which scatter light or dark colored powders \nwhich both absorb and scatter.\nSo the colors they add are opaque; i.e. it looks more like paint, \nregardless of whether the original medium was clear or opaque.\nA white or light-colored pigment can sometimes make a dark medium lighter, \nprovided\nthe original medium was more translucent than the pigment.\n\nThis translucency can be quantified.  Virtually every opaque material \nbecomes transparent or translucent if sliced thin enough.\nFor light-scattering materials, the thickness which deflects 63% of the \nlight can be called the "scattering length".\nIn effect, this is about the minimum thickness which would fuzz-up your \nview and stop you from reading a newspaper through it,\nif held a certain distance above the paper.\nAdding enough white or silver or black powder to a medium shortens the \nscattering length.\nThis enables light-colored pigments to seize control of the color of \nmedium-gray concrete and make it white or light colors.\nA pure dye could never do that, could only make the gray into dark or \nperhaps medium colors.\n\nTextiles already have plenty of scattering for their uses, so to color \nthem all you need is dye.\nAdding powder would not endure anyway; it would soon wash out, causing the \ncolor you added to change.\n\nIn the field of resins for fiberglass lamination or casting, the words are \nused interchangeably,\neven though some color additives are clear and others have opacifying \nagents in them.\nI find this unfortunate.\n\nThe freeware 3-D photo-realistic rendering software "POV-Ray" uses the \nword "pigment"\nto label a collection of color properties which can be applied to a surface.\nI don't yet understand exactly which properties they allow their term to \ninclude,\nbut it's probably more complex than just colored absorption, and results \nin some opacity.\nI find learning to use POV-Ray "visually educating".\n\nMany dye additives, as delivered, are so concentrated and absorbing that \nthey have a color-tinged black appearance.\nbut if you spread one drop thinly over a surface you could read fine print \nthrough it.\nFood coloring is a water-soluble example of what I would call dye.\n\nA tube of white toothpaste would be a white pigment for some imaginary use.\nThe same toothpaste, with a red dye added, would be a pink or red pigment.\nWith an overwhelming concentration of dyes, or with black powder added, it \ncould be a black pigment.\nSilver or metallic colorants can only be pigment.\n\n"Stain" tends to mean a dye with selective uptake: some parts of the \nstained object get darker than others by retaining more of the colorant.\nWood stains intensify the visibility of the wood's grain; biological \nstains selectively color certain substances for viewing in the microscope.

It's not the sewing machine it's the type of needle.  The one you need has a bulb tip for stretchy material.  I'm not that familiar with sergers. I do know that when you make anything with stretchy material you have to cut the fabric a certain way so that it stretches in the right directions.  Good luck.

just mix 'em up  , if you give me the name of 'all ' the colours , i will tell you how to make them\n\nI guess you mean primary colours (= base colours)\nthese are yellow red and blue\n\nyellow and red will make orange\nyellow and blue will make green\nred and blue will make purple\nyellow , red and blue will make brown\nmix them up in different proportions to get all the other colours

I would suggest to go to a salon to get what you want.They will show you samples and you can pick exactly what you want. Those dye kits you buy in the store never turn out exactly as they claim. There is more to colouring hair than anybody really realizes.

Try two layered pillows (one on top of the other) or mix and match between feather and cotton. Works wonders for me!\n\n~~Naomi
