Fridye day
A special day for lots of colourful dyeing fun. Many members used different dye methods. There was ice dying of silk fabric, you have to be very patient and wait till the ice has melted to see the result. Micro wave dying of silk fibres, colourful spiral dye of handspun heated in the microwave and normal dye pot on a cooktop.
