Cyanotype in textile work: using it to create some custom-dyed thread.
A bit like shibori, a bit tie-dye, but more adaptable.
I used a heavy thread that was going to be used for sashiko.
It was soaked in the chemicals, dried, and randomly wrapped around a cardboard tube before exposing.
The result is a lovely mottled thread.
I also made a deep indigo by fully exposing the same thread.
