Snow dyeing sounds like a neat idea! Do you use any certain kind(s) of fabric for this? Or some that work better than others-?

About three to four inches of snow. You can google snow dyeing and find directions with photos.

pepared for dying fabric has no finishes on it so it works well. My friend says that a mercerized cotten works the best. When you put two different fabrics in to dye them together, they do come out differently.
