One benefit of the last cold snap was being able to do some snow dyeing.I put damp soda soaked cotton in a container ,I had soaked it for an hour . It was placed in a vegetable rack so that as the snow melted the water could run away. I then shovelled snow on top and wearing a mask I sprinkled procion dyes on the top .
You should wear a mask as you don't want to inhale the dye powder.
It was then left till it melted about two days , before it has melted quicker
The one below had indigo blue and purple dyes sprinkled on.
A small section of the one above
This one was lime green and purple the lime green has almost disappeared.The whole process is a bit hit and miss but then so is most of my dyeing
