Julia brought all the dyeing supplies we needed to dye our crochet cotton, embroidery floss or any other fiber we wanted to try. She developed this technique to get uneven variegated colors using Procion MX dyes.
Picking out our colors was the hardest part. Julia suggested using 3 colors.
After carefully dyeing our threads we stacked them on plastic plates to take home and let sit for 24 hours. Then we rinsed them and admired our creativity, thanks to Julia.
I love all my colored threads. Please send me pictures of finished dyed threads and I will post.
