<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000> 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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000>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). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000>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. T</FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000>hese 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:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000>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). </FONT></DIV>
