Hand-Dyeing Fabric Techniques
Heather ThomasHeather Thomas explains that dyeing anything that is packaged can usually fit in a cup. She demonstrates how you can use just one or multiple colors and shows how she immerses the fabric for 10–15 seconds, then wrings it out. She likes to wait about 6 hours until rinsing, but this part is up to you.
