Shibori Pole Dyeing - Supply List

On May 2 this activity will be our last hurrah for the season before Beth and Kay head north.
I thought it would be a good idea to add the supply list to our blog where it won't get lost.


SUPPLY LIST FOR OUR SHIBORI POLE DYEING ON MAY 2, 2016

We will be doing some simple pole dyeing and manipulate  the fabric 3 different ways.

This will be an introduction to shibori and something that we can cover in our usual time.

SUPPLIES TO BRING FOR SHIBORI POLE DYEING

Rubber gloves—the longer kitchen type, not the disposables

Wear old clothes as chances are you’ll get dye on them

1 yard WHITE PFD 100% cotton – wash and dry it before you come

DO NOT SODA SOAK IT   DO NOT IRON IT

If you don’t have any PFD cotton you can buy regular white Kona cotton from Joannes

½ yard nylon net… the cheap stuff…not nylon tulle

Scissors

A bucket or plastic tote you can bring your partially rinsed fabric home in …. You will bring it home covered in a small amount of water so if you have a lid that is the safest way

Lunch

I will have the poles, dyes, rubber bands, chemicals, and all the other things we need

If I forgot anything I’ll send another message but this is an easy one to pack up for.
