Welcome to the chapter II of this instalment. 

The Gestalt of the Bean chapter II 🫘 ⚙️ will take you to the next elucidation around soy. The question of its charge, the timing around the milk bath pre-dye and how it affects the intake of dye molecules on cellulosic fibers.

The aperture opens up

🥁 A brand new method, presenting : “the Soy-Dye Express”, a method to take you to a direct fusion of soy milk and dye bath to plan your dye session on the same day and make it to the finish line in one fell swoop.

The goal: to take an already sewn garment—with its challenging folds and pleats— and dye it in a straight line from soy milk to dye pot in a continuous manner without delay in the same day — [or two] — with homogeneous results and full brilliance and saturation for a lasting effect

This course will explore :

• Express method : the unfailing soy-glue-dye recipe we needed

• Bean Theory: the meaning of the charge for dyeing purposes

• The science behind: curing, cross binding and the polymers

• Microscopic imagery: solidago, bean and fibers

• Troubleshooting : how to undo a soymilk coat, correcting a dye gone wrong → the migration of the dye
