My overdying day was a great success. I started with this horrible fabric which I have been stitching with a shibori thread. I then overdyed it with a blue and the colours blended and transformed with the shibori stitching in a most sensuous way. Also the networked circular design that I wove played with the shibori highlights.

It’s exciting times like these when I’m glad I’ve spent some time analysing colour and doing samples over the years. I produced an overdye chart using Kim Marie Bunke’s article of Handwoven November/December 1990. The article titled 48 Colors on 12 Dye Baths helped me to gauge what colours I could expect with the Samples of overdye experimentoverdying.
