Instant Color?

Have you ever wanted a certain color for your stitching work and you can't find it? Well, here is a quick way to put some color into your embroidery floss.

With a 50% coupon from Michael's, this is a good purchase!  Tumble dry or heat set color.  These are basic colors but mix well to achieve a good range of color.

Take white or beige floss skeins.

You can use a plastic coated clothes hanger to wrap the floss around.  Find a container to use as a catch basin for your dyes.  Spray away!  The floss was wetted first, but you can just spray on dry floss for a different look.

These skeins were dyed without wrapping around hanger--heat set with an iron after dry.

Add as much or as little color you want.
 

Now,  here is the embroidery work that used one of the dyed floss.

This is January angel and the one skein was used throughout the whole piece

Don't you just love this curly hair?

Here is February angel completed.
