Crafting with Hand Dyed Laces

-


 

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!

  Textile art involves using textile materials as the main medium, including fiber art, knitwear, woven fabric, and embroidery. The process of creating textile art may include hand stitching, machine work,  or even using glue. Engaging in textile art requires a sense of touch and sight , as well as creativity and emotional input.
