Left to right, in order of going into the dyebath, are: cotton, laid flat; cotton, twisted and knotted, wet; cotton, twisted and knotted, dry; calico, folded but not clamped; linen; silk organdie, folded and sewn shibori; silk organdie, scrunched. Such a variation! The only piece with actual black on it is the scrunched silk organdie.Apparently the way to get a good black is with Dylon cold-water dye.
Who wants a good black when you can have a variety like this? Reminds me of dropping ink on filter paper at school :-)
