Always experimenting........ I did wonder how this pure white tablecloth would react to hand dyeing? Do all these colours work in together? Will the cloth lose its body because fabric is mainly "dressed" to sell. You probably know the final factory rinse contains starches to give the fabric body and glycerine to add some lustre to attract customers. Therefore I discovered throughout the dyeing process the fabric washed away all the dressing and exposed the real fabric which was quite limp. It even needs to be damp when it is ironed. This could be a sign of a large percentage of natural fibre involved in the weaving. The pattern appears to have become more noticeable with the colour. I have to say I am happy with the colour combination due to adding different colours to the same base of dye. The colours have taken on an old antique feminine look which would be fabulous worn with lingerie, lacy nightwear or even denims. Thank God for denims!
