Dyeing a rainbow

Thanks to Lis for leading a fun session using Procion dyes to colour natural fabrics.

The main activity was dyeing a rainbow of 12 colours which form a colour wheel. Then we could try out other ways of mixing colours. I did some 'parfait' dyeing, where you alternate layers of fabric with different colour dyes.

Here are a couple of photos from the day, first adding the dye to fabric.

Four of the colours mixed and added to fabric.

Here are my rainbow fabrics (just got round to ironing them)

And results from the parfait dyeing

Don't forget to bring your fabric along to the next meeting.

Dyed fabric from July's meeting

Apologies to anyone who has been looking for posts about the group, but you'll be pleased to know I've got lots of photos to share with you. The first ones show some gorgeous pieces of dyed fabric from July's meeting. Thanks to Leah for bringing along the dyes and leading the session.

Notice the lovely orange bag in the middle of this last picture.

I'll post some more in the next few days on the transfer dye session at September's meeting.
