Magical "Laundry": The Secret to Beautiful Dyeing

🌼 Preparation Method

1. "Hide-and-Seek" Inside the Fabric
New fabric is crisp and looks very clean, doesn't it?
But actually, something called "sizing" is hiding between the threads of the fabric.
If this sizing remains, the dye will be repelled, and the color won't take well.
First, let's thoroughly wash away this sizing and get the fabric down to its bare state.

2. First, a "Splashy" Water Wash
Start by gently submerging the fabric in water.
Add a little detergent and wash it gently with a splashing motion.
Wash it as if you are saying to the fabric, "Get ready to be dyed beautifully."

3. A "Simmering" Bath Time in a Pot
Next, boil water in a large pot and give the fabric a bath.
Simmer it slowly and thoroughly over medium heat for 60 minutes (1 hour).
By doing this, the stubborn sizing and dirt will dissolve into the hot water.

4. A Slow "Goodnight"
After 60 minutes, turn off the heat and put a lid on the pot.
Let it rest slowly until the water cools down.
Once the water has cooled, rinse it well with water, wring it out, and you're done!

💡 A Little Tip
• For thick fabrics (such as canvas):
For very durable thick fabrics like canvas, please repeat this "simmering" process twice. By preparing it carefully, the color will dye deeper and more beautifully.

Next time, we will talk about the mysterious magic of "protein" that helps colors bond even better. Please look forward to it!
