Well Hello There.....

 

 

 Ribbon Dying Experiment #1

My poor little blog.....SO neglected.  It's busy season at the day job. When I last posted, dyed ribbon was the obsession du jour. This is how my first experiment played out.... The dying went fine -great color, even on the roll of rayon ribbon. The cotton fabric was slow to wick up the color. I think it needs a deeper bath and should be wrapped tighter on a spool. Easy enough.

My jubilation was short lived- when I rinsed the ribbon, all the color washed out! Bummer....My chemicals were quite old. Will try it again with a new batch.
