I had lots of fun experimenting with dyeing fabrics this week. I didn't try different manipulations because I wanted to experiment with colours. More information about my week of dyeing can be found on my blog - http://joanne-threadhead.blogspot.ca/2012/12/a-new-hobby.html

Materials

Cotton fabric, pearl cotton #5 and cotton knitting yarn, dyed with Procion MX dyes.

What was your inspiration?

Jane Dunnewold and the fabulous Craftsy class The Art of Cloth Dyeing

What are you most proud of?

That I had the confidence to experiment with different techniques that I saw online, because I had learned the "how to's" and "why's" from the class.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It is amazing how easy it is. Have fun.
