Mollie replied to the discussion 'Getting the Best Results When Dyeing Fabric' in the group Fabric Dyeing"I think diluting the dye like you mentioned is the right idea. It may be coming out blotchy because the bucket is too small for the amount of fabric you're putting in and the fabric is folding over on itself. Could you try a bigger bucket or a…"

I really like your idea of keeping a fabric journal. I wish I had done that from the beginning. Although flying by the seat of my pants is fun too!"

Mollie replied to the discussion 'Dyeing with Indigo' in the group Fabric Dyeing"Connie, I was the same way...just never could get around to it or I'd talk myself out of it thinking I couldn't do it. Then I discovered Dharma Trading Company. Their instructions and supplies are great. If you get stuck, you can even call…"
Mollie replied to the discussion 'Dyeing with Indigo' in the group Fabric Dyeing"Thank you, Susan. I have no idea what I'm going to make, probably a Kayla Kennington style top/jacket. The left pieces in the top photo are my favorites too. And they are as simple as can be. The rayon really soaks up the dye. I got a pvc pipe,…"

A discussion by Mollie was featuredDyeing with Indigo
I've been playing with Jacquard's Indigo Dye Kit for a few days and I have to say this is really easy. Once you set up the dye vat (no heat involved) it lasts for several weeks and will dye up to 15 yards of fabric. I've been dyeing rayon and hemp and will try linen next. Using shibori techniques, I've been able to produce some really fascinating pieces. You can get the kit at Joanne's Fabrics and at Dharma Trading Company.
