hand dyeing embroidery thread

Left over Dye Embroidery Thread Colors

March 17, 2014March 18, 2014 | JP Dawes Artist

Embroidery thread dyed The distoriated quilterDyed threads with left over dye stored in the fridge  after snow dyeing.

It resulted in interesting shades. The more pastel threads are

white mercerized cotton,which I thought would  take more dye.

Wrong again…it was the thread with a sheen that took the dye and produced

the richest dark colors.
