Snow Dying


As we have had a little warm spell and the snow was melting yesterday. I thought I would snow dye some fabric.  I also got the timer to work and took a photo of myself knelling by the fabric.


It was sunny and warm yesterday, just look at the great blue sky we had. No sun today just grey.


I hope this one turns out. I placed the fabric with a spin and have laid out the fabric with a plaid like pattern.

I am off the wash the nine pieces out now.

I have added this to Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday and Needle and Thread Network WIP Wednesday.

  1. Cool project! In more ways than one, eh! I did some snow dyeing too but was not madly excited about that happened . Not sure I'd bother again. The trad way is better for me but the experiment was fun. hope your results are what you want. Nice work :-)

  2. Love the idea of just making piles in the snow and bypassing dishes and pans. Will be very curious to see your results! I tried last week and realize now my snow was too dry (as strange as that sounds, it does make sense! lol).

  3. Interesting. I put my prepped fabric in the bottom of plastic tubs, fill the tubs with snow, and pour on the dye. Then they are indoors to 'cure'. Never tried it right on the snow!

  4. How interesting. We have no snow in S. Louisiana, ever, but it is something I would like to try. Can you send some snow this way?
