Fun Finds Friday......

Here's something a bit different for this weeks Fun Finds Friday post. If you're like me, you'll love all the hand dyed fabrics and threads that are available. Have you ever wondered about dying some threads or fabrics yourself? Ifyou have completely no idea how or where to start doing this (I'm definitely in that category!), here's a little help.

I've only listed links on  how to dye threads or floss as it's often called, and I'll do another post on hand dying fabric at another time.

Here's hoping these links might help spur you on to tackle some home thread dying! Good luck....and let me know how you get on!

Until next time....happy stitching!
