A little bit goes a long way...

I think i have finally exhausted my batch of logwood !!

I had managed to dye lots of yarn an array of colours last summer with one batch, then turned to the silk and cotton with another to see what colours would appear.

The purples, pinks and greens have been very popular so i've ordered some more logwood to carry on....

Here are some photo's of the final piece produced, a lightweight cotton scarf in a pretty rose pink....

A Little Different....

Silk tie-dyed with logwood giving purple base, fabric left wet with nails laid in/on the fabric.

Two triangular scarves to come from this for the more daring purchaser !

Weekend Results

Last week i received a delivery of some new fabric and couldn't wait for the weekend to arrive so I could get out the dyeing pans!!

This year I made a promise that I would be more experimental in my dyeing again, and new fabrics is one of them. The fabric I bought was a very fine cotton, lightweight and perfect for spring into summer time wears.

My first dye batch was with Logwood which has produced a lovely dusky pink - perfect colours for the coming seasons ! All the edges are to be left raw and unfinished, and all that needs adding is signature label - never have I had so little to do with a piece.....

There's another length in the pot now simmering away and I will probably let it cool over night.

Let me know what you think, and hopefully they'll start popping up in my Folksy and Etsy shops in the next week or so.
