Oooh, kickstarter for a new PNW wild dye book by a very cool dyer I have followed for several years. She does some beautiful and rare dye techniques-- purples and blues from lichens and fungus, dyes that change colour in sunlight, etc. (Book has a big ole ethics section, as you should expect with foraging and especially lichens.) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ninetenpub/wild-dyes-of-the-pacific-northwest #PNWNativePlants #dyeing #BotanicalDyes #TextileArts #foraging #LichenSubscribe

Okay, looks like I'me going to attempt a Japanese "Arashi" pattern, lol. The dye company claims you can do this with polyester, with their polyster-specific dye. https://www.ritdye.com/techniques/shibori/arashi/ #dyeing

Soaked the shirt overnight in Simple Green, and making polyester shirt stew with soda ash. It's whiter than it has been in years 🤔#dyeing #diy

Since I am here, going to toss some other stuff in the dye. I have a couple of garage sale sheets I was using to cover plants in winter. Let's dye those too! #dyeing #diy

After rinsing and then a hand wash in a mild detergent. Tbd how much of this will stick after an actual machine wash. This is the wet color, could be much lighter dry. #dyeing #diy
