I chose turquoise/blue and orange/gold without realising how many fabrics and threads I had in the colour range!
I enjoyed tie-dyeing in Module 2, so it was fun to have another go, this time with colours. I dyed plain white cottons and silks as well as some of the plain coloured fabrics I had in my stash. I used Dylon again. The cottons took the dye very well and the silks produced more muted colours, but still very attractive.
