Crafting with Hand Dyed Laces

Image
  Whether you're a Textile Artist, Mixed Media Creator, enjoy Journaling and Quilting, crafting with Hand Dyed Laces can truly elevate your projects. These laces bring in interest, color, and a richness that enhances any creative endeavor. Dyeing techniques can be natural - using plants, coffee, or tea - for a beautiful aged look, or you can opt for commercial dyes for more vibrant options. I've incorporated these lovely dyed laces into Snippet Rolls, Pouches, Crazy Quilting, and even Ribbon Embroidery. If you're in search of a specific colour for your project and struggling to find it, hand dyeing can be a simple and fulfilling solution. Embrace this vibrant medium to add distinct character to your work!
