The garden is very happy after a nice
soaking rain.
I have been experimenting with more
fabric manipulation before dyeing.
Including some sun prints - I love the
results of this piece.
I used 100% Kona Cotton The thread count for kona cotton is 60 by 60
a tighter weave and a heavier weight
I do not buy PDF(prepared for dyeing) fabric - I wash all of my fabric in very
hot water and washing soda to remove sizing and chemicals - at this point the fabric also shrinks. What this means to you is that you should not have any significant shrinkage after washing my (pre-treated) fabrics.
I used two different technique in this piece
- stitch resist and pole wrapped Arashi
Shibori -- Colors are Aqua and black with
some greys - very striking!
Have a great week!
