This is my first batch of hand dyed fabric. It is so much fun. I like the mixed - tone on tone - marbled look. This was what I was going for. Lots of fun to do. Maybe one day I'll have control over the outcome. But today every batch is a surprise! fabric_fancy gave me a list of resources, vendors, and help. Thank you fabric_fancy!

They are beautiful. I love hand dyeing fabrics. You can get colors you can't find and the marbled effects really add a nice touch to your projects.

Great job with the fabric, it's something I always wanted to try but since being on this board I am swamped with sooo many things to try...

My friend and I dyed a bunch of fabric at her cottage we had so much fun doing it and ended up doing it for 2 days in a row. The first day we did color wheels and the next day we got into gradations We plan on doing it every summer now!
