Fabric Dyeing Techniques

Description

Dyeing fabric at home needs only a few materials, and the results vary widely depending on the method. Seven PDF lessons begin with an introduction to the craft, then explain different dye types and which fabrics suit them.

The lessons teach solid color dyeing for even results, then shibori resist patterns, ice dyeing and classic and modern tie-dye. The last lesson covers setting colors and caring for the finished items. Tables help compare materials and methods. After reading, you will be able to pick a dye for your fabric, try several techniques and look after the colors afterwards.
