Hand-Painted
Specialty Fabrics
Check
out our beautiful new hand-painted 28-count linen fabrics. Our goal
is to create a unique fabric on which to stitch that special project--by
hand painting with fabric dye rather than immersion in a dye bath.
Each
piece is washed in a special detergent to remove sizing, soaked
in an activator to help the fabric better take the dye, then laid
out flat and painted, carefully blending several colors to achieve
a subtle mottling. It then cures for 24 to 48 hours, after which
it is washed several times in hot water and detergent to remove
excess dye, making it color-fast. After drying and pressing, it
is ready for your needle and thread--and your imagination!
