Organic Prepared for Dyeing (PFD) Fabric Test
Note: Our Natural Patchwork giveaway is open through Sunday night… We have a new line of 100% Organic Cotton Solids from Robert Kaufman in the shop. The fabric is prepared-for-dyeing (PFD) and comes in a variety of weights and weaves, from voile and poplin to twill and canvas.
We asked Candy from Candied Fabrics to include the new fabrics in an Organic Prepared for Dyeing (PFD) Fabric Test to see how they react to dye and take on color. You can see the results of Candy’s test with the organic cotton solids at Candied Fabrics (Spoiler: She was “very happy with most of the color uptake!”).
Candy is an artist who dyes all of her own fabrics and creates amazing pieces from the fabric, ranging from three-dimensional works of art to art quilts and “everyday art”– silk scarves, journals, bags and more. You can learn more about Candy in her introduction . She’ll be back later this month with some dyeing tutorials so you can create your own perfect fabric!
