Fabric Dyeing

Give old fabric a joyful new personality using colour, pattern, and a bit of playful experimentation.

From classic spirals to subtle botanical prints, dyeing fabric is full of surprise and creativity. It’s a lovely way to refresh clothes and reduce waste at the same time.

The kits linked further down are the ones we’re planning to use when we start, but we haven’t tested them yet so have a read of the reviews and make sure they look right for you too.
