Add surfactants to the water <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>before<\/em><\/span> you add the dye powder.

Dye fixatives\u00a0are not mordants,\u00a0though the results are\u00a0fairly permanent. Dye fixatives are positively charged, encouraging the negatively charged dye and fiber to attach to each together (think &#8211; fix or glue together).<\/p>\n<p>The fixative is applied to the reed\u00a0by making a\u00a0warm water\/fixative bath and soaking freshly dyed reed for 10-20 minutes.\u00a0Retayne\u00ae, Dharma Dye Fixative\u00ae, and Jacquard&#8217;s iDye Fixative\u00ae all work well on cellulose fibers (reed).<\/p>\n<p><strong>TEMPERATURE and TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are using a direct or all purpose dye, using cool or lukewarm water to dye reed will merely stain the fiber and the result will not be very colorfast.\u00a0In order to penetrate cellulose fibers\u00a0and achieve reasonable colorfastness, the fiber must spend time in the dye at a\u00a0high\u00a0temperature. Together, heat and time deepen the color and improve colorfastness. Most direct dye directions encourage boiling the fiber in the dye for several\u00a0minutes and then leaving the fiber to soak for an additional 30 minutes in the hot or boiling dye. Unfortunately, boiling reed for more than a few minutes breaks down reed\u00a0fibers, quickly making the reed\u00a0hairy and brittle.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/100_5979.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16554 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/100_5979-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"the dye pot\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/100_5979-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/100_5979-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/100_5979-1030x773.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/100_5979-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/100_5979-705x529.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.prairiewoodbasketry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/100_5979-450x338.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After a lot of trial and error I have found that I can get some of\u00a0the effects of\u00a0temperature and time by bringing the dye pot\u00a0to a boil then adding the reed.
