I was lucky last night at the Embroiderers' Guild meeting to find a bag full of old real lace, some silk fabrics and lovely bits and pieces -- and bulging bags of beautiful bugle beads. For anyone out there familiar with dyeing, some of the lace is milky coffee coloured and I'm wondering if I dye it, will it just turn a muddy colour?? Thanks for any hints.
Hmmmm, depends what colour you want to dye it. It should be OK. Is the lace cotton and what dyes are you thinking of using?

Yes, Kari, it's all cotton. I have Procion - I suppose I could do little pieces to try. Will let you know what happens.

Hi Sally,
ReplyDeleteI had to check what RSS actually does - now I know but still not sure how to set it up. I can foresee another lengthy learning curve on the horizon!!
