Rust dyed cotton stitched to Shibori clamped cotton

Rust dyed cotton stitched to Shibori clamped cotton

Stitch a Day 2017, Day 54

February 27, 2017

I didn't get too many stitched done today, so here's a close-up of the rust -dyed cotton, over-dyed in the indigo vat and then pieced under a piece of poplin that was folded into pleats, clamped between boards and dipped in the indigo vat.

In dyeing, hand stitched, indigo, shibori Tags indigo, shibori, handstitched, handdyed

New stock added. Oversold natural indigo dyed mending thread is back in stock. This cotton covered poly thread is stronger than pure cotton and takes the indigo dye beautifully, with little specks of undyed poly peeking through for an almost sparkly effect. It's strong enough for mending jeans but thin enough for most stitching and embroidery projects. The natural indigo will fade harmoniously as you launder your jeans. If thread sales are an indication, the dog days of the pandemic are inspiring people to dig into those baskets of damaged clothes with lots of first timers giving mending a try. It's put up in short skeins so its an affordable starter thread. The indigo dye started as seeds in my dye garden. I use this thread in Arashi Shibori processes and carefully unwind it as I pull off the dyed textiles. Nothing goes to waste! I can put up longer skeins if needed, pm me

There was a run on indigo dyed thread on my website over the holidays and I'm almost out. Today I'm trying out fiber reactive dyes on a few skeins to see how that works. Takes a lot less water than indigo processing which is an ongoing concern in SoC
