Silk scarves – I bought a bulk of 12 of the 35 x 35 size. Fortunately this isn’t expensive two cheap, safe dyes to use are Kool-Aid and cake dye. Silk, as an animal fibre, requires you to use acid dyes. They’re cheap to buy and fun to dye! You could, of course, use them as scarves or veils you could also use them to wrap presents, make a cape, decorate a play-house… the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination. They’re called playsilks when given to children to use for non-scarf or veil purposes. The problem is that a cursory Google search brought up so many different ways to dye whose instructions did we choose to follow? This was a lesson in experimentation, and the object of this post is to pass on what I learned to you. This past weekend my MIL and I decided to try our hand at dyeing playsilks.
