The floss is more delicate, more subject to abrasion than Cordonnet-style thread, and I struggle with that in the handling. Do you use soda ash? Is your thread pre-soaked in it and then dried, or is the soda ash mixed into your dye? Thank you so much for the inspiration!Orlythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04414265091777897945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-81472248973968983212010-03-25T10:30:26.540-05:002010-03-25T10:30:26.540-05:00Thank You!!Thank You!!Elena Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00928329816314291632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-41194354875935074262010-03-23T08:03:33.399-05:002010-03-23T08:03:33.399-05:00Fiber reactive dye (Procion MX) is very good for d...Fiber reactive dye (Procion MX) is very good for dyeing cotton thread.
