Happy Dyeing! Thrilled with finished chartreuse fabrics. Thank you, Dharma Trading, for your awesome Procion dyes. In this case, chartreuse. I get a lot of joy from dyeing fabrics and even more joy from wearing the finished fabrics.
I found a fantastic, sweet linen on sale at Hancock Fabrics. $5 a yard! It has lovely white rows of bows. I figured the fabric would dye wonderfully. Often embroidered threads aren't natural fibers. I suspected the threads wouldn't dye. Interestingly, the front side didn't, the back side dyed yellow. The yellow dye particles must be smaller, to penetrate those fibers.
Also dyed a cotton to line what would be the linen dress.
And a gorgeous silk scarf. These scarves always dye beautifully, always the most vibrant items in the batch.
And I think the bestest is the piece of vintage eyelet I bought from Jordana aka mylaar at a Chicago Craft Mafia Do It Your Own D*mn self craft supply sale. It's not a large piece, but I'm thinking of cutting it lengthwise, sewing the ends, making a small scarf.
