I found a fantastic site the other day dedicated to fabric dyeing. What I loved most about the information was how simple the dyeing process was laid out- IF you follow the steps and prepare, prepare, and prepare some more. I dyed a 9 color rainbow using fuschia, turquoise, and golden yellow with just scant amounts of dye powder and was able to easily dye 2 yards of fabric.
I was attempting to get a very mottled look for each piece so I tried different ways of scrunching or folding or twisting the fabric before placing it in the dye solution. And while it was suggested to let the fabrics cure for 3 hours, I left them overnight (about 12 hours).
I love the results, but will certainly have to do this many times more to find some consistency.
So, what do you think?
They are gorgeous. Can you share the site where you found the info?
