Dye-Lishus® 10/2 Cotton is a new cotton yarn that needs no mordants or other auxiliaries applied before dyeing.
So we combined it with an untreated 10/2 in log cabin to weave up quick and easy.
The fun begins when you immerse the finished cloth in our all-natural, non-toxic dyes to see the log cabin design materialize right before your eyes!
This kit includes all the Dye-Lishus® 10/2 Cotton and untreated 10/2 cotton yarns, 10/2 black for outline borders, one color (choose below) of our non-toxic liquid Botanical Colors dyes along with all the instructions (with tips & hints) for warping, weaving, finishing and dying instructions you'll need to complete 6 or 12 napkins, 15.5" square!
You will need a 4-shaft loom, 20" weaving width and a 10 dent reed (sleyed 2/dent for 20 eli)
Dye-Lishus® 10/2 Cotton appears in a feature article by Eileen Hallman in the March/April 2012 issue of Handwoven magazine.
