Lisa Chin said...: Beautiful! What kind of dyes do you use? Do you use a few basic colors and then mix to get the rest or do you buy all kinds of colors?; August 15, 2009 at 11:50 AM

I use Procion fibre reactive dyes. I start with three "primary" colours - a red, a yellow and a blue - and make my 21-step rainbow from there.

In a similar vein, you may be interested in Terri's 2-colour gradation tutorial (pdf from Two Creative Studios).; August 16, 2009 at 2:18 PM
