Trim dyeing

This week I decided to try and dye some trim that I had in my stash.



I wasn't sure of the fibre content of the trim; I suspected a poly-cotton blend.


I realised that I was not likely to use it in it's pink form, so I pot dyed it with some Rit cold water dye (brown), salt and a little laundry detergent.


I stirred for 30 minutes while the dye liquid simmered. I rinsed, following the dye packet instructions, and waited anxiously to see how it would turn out when dry.


And I was delighted with the result! Now I have too many fabrics that I can use it on!
