This week at the Women’s Shed Erika taught us how to do eco-dying. It was very hands-on and different to what we normally do. The silk scarves were soaked in one of the solutions, then laid out on an old towel. We arranged a variety of fresh and dried leaves along the scarf before carefully wrapping it around a cylinder and plastic. String was used to tie it all up and then they boiled away in a pot on the stovetop. We also did a few leaves on some thick cardboard too.
Then, the big unravelling to see how the designs turned out.
We think our scarves look pretty good. Thank you Erika for bring this craft to us and all your hard work sharing your skills and knowledge.
