Dye Folder

One of the very first things we were taught at uni was how to dye materials and yarn. This included pre-scouring, the different types of dyes and what works best for different types of materials, working out formulas on how to dye colours and the shades, the correct fixative to use for each dye, different methods to dye and a burn test. 

Here are some photos from my folder.
