dye day? ( was [Ponte Alto] Dye Day (was RE: speaking of fabric )

[ArtsofPalm at aol.com]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

 I'm just finishing up on my finals next week.... so to celebrate I was 
planning to do dye day on Saturday, July 24th.  I've been so caught up with 
finishing classes that I've been putting off writing this email... but now is really 
the perfect time, so many thanks to Siobhan for the reminder.

It really is important that those who are interested in coming to dye day let 
me know, and that you give me an idea of how much yardage you have in mind to 
dye, and equally important, how heavy the fabric is (3 yards of cotton 
battiste takes much less dye than 3 yards of medium weight linen, for instance).  

In fact, which color you choose is also important. For instance, it take 4 
times more black dye than green dye for the same amount of fabric. These are 
procion dyes.  I already have several, but if you feel strongly about color, you 
might want to look at the web site to see which color choices might work for 
you and then tell me in the  email.  Here is the web address to see the color 
chart:

Dharma also has great fabrics for dyeing, and you can be sure that they 
haven't got any chemicals in them that might cause the dyes to resist or dye 
unevenly.

Hope you can join on Saturday the 24th.  Drop me an email if you think you 
can make it and let me know how much yarn you have in mind and what colors you 
were considering (if you care).  

One last thing... If you're interested in buying any of the Dharma fabric, 
call me at 703 922-2937.  Perhaps we'll get a larger order in for less $.

YIS,
Irene Madhaidin
