Question - How To Dye Fabric In Order To Make Quilts, Garments, Table Linens, Etc?
Answer -
The best place to start is with the prepared-for-dyeing fabrics at Dharma Trading Co. Their fabrics have no coatings or treatments that would make them resist the dye. Cotton and linen fabrics from Dharma do not need to be washed before dying. They recommend washing silk fabrics with Synthrapol first (also available from Dharma), in order to take out any remaining silk worm gum.
