A Challenge Presents Itself
I shibori dyed two pieces of 44" x 8o" alpaca and merino felted onto silk gauze using the FeltLOOMThere is lots of white, more than I anticipated. The color is darker on the part of the fabric that was on the outside. I presoaked the fabric, then used one cup each of turquoise, green and blue vinyl sulphon dye mixed according to the instructions at Dharma Trading . As more layers are created from pole wrapping there is less penetration. There are so many factors that determine penetration. How long did I wait after presoaking? Should I have used more dye? Shall proceed and make the coat I had planned?
I shall, putting thought into design before cutting out the front, back and sleeves.
