I simply used kitchen string (the non-fluffy twine), it broke a few times, so I knotted it & kept wrapping - I'm not sure what I was meant to use ;)MaciNichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165307130447217668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992719705821442384.post-42069160476347686752015-04-20T17:14:25.463-07:002015-04-20T17:14:25.463-07:00I am SO impressed with your results!!

I'm looking forward to meeting some experienced dyers & soaking up their enthusiasm and knowledge.

I had a go at dyeing (gathered my supplies at the same place) using directions from Sallieoh when I first started blogging. It was more of a paint though - I love the effects of twisting and wrapping the fabric. Although I suspect impatience would be my problem too. And I am in love with what you did with that top.

I really like the plain yellow cuffs as it sets off the dyed fabric.
