I love hand-dyed stripes. This doesn't have a lot of the crystalline effects from the snow, but it's still pretty cool. The turquoise is really vibrant here. I didn't get much green from the yellow and blue mixing -- because they were frozen?
These two were accordion folded before the dyes were poured on and don't look any different from any other lwi hand dyes. I like the mirror effects I get from the folding.
I didn't have any trouble with the turquoise, but I think that was probably because they batched on top of a heater vent. The temperature was nice and warm there last night. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised with all of these -- They didn't look like much before they dried and I was expecting to be disappointed.

I have serious fabric envy! These are really beautiful. I think I'm going to have to try this (minus the freezing part, of course!).
I like them all a lot but that first one is amazing!
I'd like to try some snow dying, but we don't have any snow!!!! We've had flurries, but only one medium storm. Now all I see is a light dusting, but mostly grass. This is CANADA for heaven's sake. Oh well, I don't have any Procion MX dyes anyway. I guess that means I can spend my money on other stuff. - Amri
I love the first one and the Yellow/Blue/Purple one too.
I think maybe the vet will become the regular batch place in the winter!!!
Some day I'm going to try snow dyeing... well any dyeing...
