Sun dye workshop

 Last weekend I went to Nicheno on the east coast of Tasmania for a weekend spinning retreat with our local spinners guild.

While there I did a worshop using sun dyes. I have used eun paint before but this was the first time I had used sun dyes. We used both cotton fabric, below.

And also rice paper. Both were really interesting and so much to play with.

This was the dye we used.

Eco dye fun

I have been revisiting some of my eco dyed samples. Since moving I have been trying to remember where I had stored all my fabric samples. Luckily I found these pieces which I hope to use as some slow stitched projects.

I am always drawn to the variations in cc colour and pattern that are created while eco dying. Finding where to cut these pieces will be the challenge for me.
