Inspired by my previous post about Gradient Trends, here is my ombre jumper!
You will need:
Fabric Dye
Container
Spoon
Jumper / Any item of clothing (Beware of the material and check first with the dye instructions to see if the fabric is suitable, the jumper I used was 100% acrylic which was not recommended. whoops!)
So following the instructions on the packet, I submerged half my jumper into hot water.
(yes, that is a broken sink!)
I added a spoon of dye into the water.
(I poured all the dye into the container and divided it roughly into thirds; one spoon was a third)
Mix the dye until it dissolved.
Submerge half the jumper into the dye for approximately 8 minutes
Added another spoon of dye and stirred it until it dissolved completely
Lifted a third of the dyed section out of the water & left it for another 8-10 minutes
Repeated the previous two steps
I rinsed the whole jumper with water until it ran clear then air dried it in the sun.
All done!! A gradient jumper, ready for winter!
