We started off dye some fabric and threads using snow. We had intended to 'ice dye' but as the good Lord sent snow, we just had to use that instead. It really is a great way to dye fabric as the resulting colour are generally very deep and rich.
Fabrics prepared ready to start

We also made some felt using the wet method - not my favourite way as it takes too long!

Jo's work
Just to finish off the day, Jo did some rust dyeing too.
