For my Airstream Friends

After giving a presentation to a group of campers staying at the Mark Twain Cave in Hannibal, MO I decided to share a quick overview of the ice dyeing process that I use via photos on a current project.  This does not give the details but gives a hint of what it looks like to dye an assortment of vintage linen napkins. Enjoy!!

And consider learning more to change those “languishing linens” into a modern day useful item–in a quilt or on your table.

Step 1 treated linens with soda ash fixative

Step 2 cover with ice

Step 3 sprinkle dye powder in colors of choice.     Step 4 let set and ice melt for at least 12 hours

Step 5 rinse, wash and dry
