Pickles Fabrics
(Continued from Pago B 12)
Step One
Prepare Fabric
• If you are using fabric on hand,
wash in hot water to which has
been added 3 tablespoons Synthra
pol soap to scour away any chemi
cal residues or finishes. Fabric
from dye companies do not need
this initial washing. In either case,
the dyeing process will preshrink
the fabric.
• Cut or tear fabric into fat quar
ters ('A yard fabric split in half),
and soak them into the following
solution for at least IS minutes: 3
gallons warm water plus VA cups
dye activator or soda ash. (You can
save this solution indefinitely for
future dye projects)
• Put on gloves. Squeeze fabric
into balls and transfer to dye area
using a plastic bin.

You may remove the dust mask
after mixing the dye solutions. If
the dye powder clumps, add a drop
of dish detergent. You now have
3-quart containers of dye solution;
yellow, turquoise, and red
enough for one 24-color batch.
Step 3
Prepare Jars of Dye
• Unscrew lids and set aside in a
bin. Leave jars in box they came in.
• Add salt to the jars as follows:
For dark batch:
1 tablespoon salt to each jar
For medium batch:
1 teaspoon salt to each jar
For light batch;
A teaspoon salt to each jar
Following the color wheel
recipe, fill each jar with dye solu
tion. Each jar will be about half
way filled—some a little more,
some a little less. Stir each jar until
salt is dissolved, rinsing spoon or
chopstick between jars so dye sol
ution does not intermix (not every
grain of salt needs to be dissolved).
Step 4
Fill Jars With Fabric
One by one, scrunch the wet fat
quarters you have prepared. Try to
