Some Silk Dyeing

Yesterday, I took the day to dye some silk scarves.  One can never have enough of them :)

Today I did the washout and was thrilled with the depth of color.  Instead of using acid dyes like I normally do for silk and wool, I just used the fiber reactive dyes that I use for cottons. Did everything the same as for cotton,  and it worked great...no steaming!

These photos are all of Silk Devore...all different patterns

Dots





Deco





Arabesque





And Curls





Pretty, aren't they!  There are more, but I'll save them for another day.
