Dying

A common way to add a unique element to bought fabric is through dying, either commercially or by hand. At the moment I am trying different techniques to produce a stripe on wool jersey. I don’t want a graphic, clear-cut look so I am not using screen printing, but instead am trying to apply the dye directly using different brushes and a wet or dry base cloth. The use of bleach to pull out the colour is also adding interesting effects to my experiments.
