Silk Dyeing Class- project one

Here is the video of the Quilt University Silk Dyeing class's first project that has some students a bit stumped. One thing I realized as I was making the video that I am assuming you know is that you can add more dye as you go along. You do not need to ONLY use what is on the fabric. You CAN do it that way and it will work but takes longer than what you will see me doing here which is heaping on the dye and sloshing it around as I go. I do mention adding more dye in the DF but perhaps you are thinking the only way to blend is to use what is already ON the silk. Hope this helps. You know what to do after it cures and is ready for rinsing so I left that part off of the video.

Happy dyeing!!!! See you back in class.
