Dyeing with a Slow Cooker with Angela Daymond
Classes with Angela Daymond • Educational, G, 01-Feb-2018
Angela selects four different products to use to create the colour in her fabrics, which are both cotton and silk; she uses onion skins for a soft beige colour; walnut husks for brown; wood chippings for purple and madder root for red/pink.
Sometimes you need to pre-treat the fabric with a modant and Angela explains why. The ingredients are re-usable, but they will loose some of their power.
So load up your slow cooker – leave cooking for 3-4 hours and see what you can produce.
