16-11-2024If you want an electric pink on steroids--this is it! I love it. Its the color of a pink highlighter. I dont know if it actually fluoresces, but its bright. Its exactly the shade I wanted to dye wool with. However. I dyed some raw farm wool last night with this. The pH was 4 and the dye pot was held at just under a simmer for over an hour and the dye did not exhaust. I let it cool completely in the pot overnight. And today, when rinsing, there was a lot of bleeding. Now, the wool is not oversaturated because I used this dye very dilute. I wasnt going for a deep dark pink--I was going for a very light color. So Im worried about fading for two reasons: 1) its fluorescent which means its fugitive (fades quickly with time, exposure to sunlight etc) and 2) The dye bath did not exhaust and the dye is running during rinsing which means it may run every time I wash this wool. So. This is quite the dilemna. Im contemplating overdying it with a different brand in a ho-hum magenta just so I can be sure that it will actually stay pink. Im not sure I want to mess with this anymore because dying wool is such a big production. BUT. Despite manufacturers stating that acid dyes need a pH of 4.5 to effectively strike, some dyes seem to need a much lower pH to fully take up. pH is on a logarithmic scale--so 4 should have done the trick, but Ill try going a bit lower to see what happens with this. One more chance Jacquard. Ill report back later if I come to any distinct conclusions about this. Every dye is different. I wish the manufacturers would give us all the info on each individual dyes quirks so we can make informed decisions instead of having to find out on our own after paying for the dye. Harumph.
