We will be using 100% natural fibers ( cotton, linen, silk, rayon) to explore multiple aspects of binding, capping, folding, clamping and pole wrapping.
If you want to create samples for your own techniques book, we recommend a minimum of 2 yards of fabric. You'll need more fabric if you're making larger pieces. All fabric must be prepared for dyeing (PFD) - pre-washed to remove all sizing , etc, so it will take the dye.
