Hand Dyeing Fabric

[LastingAllure]

Well I am trying to look into how to hand dye some fabric but it seems like everyone is protective of how they do it, which I understand if they are selling lol. But I want to dye some of my own fabrics because I don't seem to find exactly what I want. Is there anywhere online that I can be pointed to like a site or blog with step by step instructions on how to properly dye cross stitch fabrics...mainly linen?

Feel free to use the tips and info I gleaned from my own search on how to hand dye fabric! Please keep in mind that the dyes I used (RIT dyes) aren't commercial grade, and are not colourfast. To be honest, I'm rather hesitant to wash my work once the stitching is done. (Which is why I love my grime guards for my Q-snaps.)

Just be careful and don't do anything that might jeopardize your finished piece!

Good luck! I can't wait to hear how it goes.

I came across this site the other day- and they have an online cloth dying class. More for sewing and quilting- but the process and the dyes should be the same.. only the base fabric is different.. right? I've never signed up for anything like this but it might be interesting.
