Straw Dying

My last class at MQX on Thursday was "Straw Dying" with Nancy Begin. She started by spraying thePFD fabric with a solution of Soda Ash in hot water. Then using a straw to scoop a bit of dry dye , sprinked it over her fabric. Sprayed some more & rubbed it around...
ending up with a grid from the plastic lid below.
Here are my fabics after washing & drying.
I can't wait to go do more at home!

PS-YES FITZY, I AGREE YOU MUST WEAR A MASK!
 I DID!
It's Nancy's personal choice to not wear one, but I remember a dyer dying from not
wearing one.
