I finally got a chance to dye the fringing I picked up from my  recent opshop visits.

I dyed the pink/orange combination and both rainbows using my Eco Dyeing method.

The greens were just dipped into some left over dye from the graduation packs at the top. I definitely prefer the Eco Dyeing method. It’s less messy and I can dye more with less. From a commercial point of view the Eco Dyeing method is much more viable.

The end result is vibrant, colourful and colourfast.

Is this chenille fringing ? from chenille bedspreads?

All of the pink/orange and 1 piece of the top rainbow is chenille fringing. The rest is rayon. The Chenille is actually the left overs of those bits you sent me for that Warwick Tree project.
