I've been reading about dyeing silk and need hive advice. I have silk curtains. I think they are raw silk. I would like to do as the frugal Elizabethan would do and dye them so I can reuse the fabric in another colour scheme, darker than what they are. Is this possible? Could I do it myself or are there people who do this? The curtain people don't want to touch them. Thanks for permitting this ot post.
On another note, I have permission to offer, for free, a couple of items of clothing I made. One is a side less surcoat or bliaut and the other is a cartridge pleated split skirt and a side lacing beaded bodice with a V front. Neither are very HA but might do for a first faire. They are ladies' small or extra small. If anyone is interested in picking these up in Ontario, Canada or work out shipping please message me privately and I will post photos. There may already be photos on the site too.
