The content of this fabric is mainly cellulose fibres being Viscose, Linen, Jute and small amount of Polyester so I expect it will dye quite well. This is using the ice dying method I used in the first assignment as this creates a very natural spread of colour and create interesting organic shapes.
Below is the ice on top of the fabric with the dye poured on top...
And here is the result..
Beautiful splashes of colour and the fabric has still kept a bit of its shine..
Possible uses as a scarf..
Maybe a draped long jacket or a slightly fitted jacket?
I think this is way too much of the fabric and it is too intense and too hippy for my collection. Should be used in smaller doses.
It could be used as a small skirt, or maybe take advantage of the interesting frayed edge detail it creates on itself and have a layered feature at the top of a skirt..
Here are the designs that followed this experiment..
