Discharge Dyeing PhotoWhen one thinks of dyeing, you think of huge pots of hot liquid with yarn or fabric inside. Personally, I always think of the witches in Act IV, Scene 1 of MacBeth “Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.” Nothing could be farther from the truth with this dyeing process. Discharge Dyeing is the process of removing dye from fabrics with bleach. It is not uncommon to see unusual colors coming from fabric that was once a dark color. With the aid of some common everyday articles, your results become even more amazing! If you have always wanted to try dyeing, but have been worried about the outcome, this is the class for you! Everything will be provided for you in this class including two yards of fun filled fabrics. We will learn several different techniques during this class.
