Tuesday Tip - Dyeing

Whenever I am doing a Procion MX dye run I always keep some form of cloth nearby to wipe up spills. Sometimes it is yardage, but lately I have been using different articles of clothing. The random mop up's create some beautiful and unusual combinations. If the piece needs some more dyeing, I often let it air dry until the next session. If it is done, I pour some soda ash solution on top and process as normal.

Recently, I bought some (absolutely wonderfully soft!) bamboo socks from Dharma Trading. I used these in my last dye sessions and they really turned out nice!
