Several of you had questions for Johanna about what is involved in dyeing, confirming the dyes are non-toxic, etc. There are many wonderful sites that have a wealth of information on Procion dyeing. Here are two recommended by Johanna:

• Paula Burch is the queen of dye information. FAQ's about dyeing are answered thoroughly. There is also a forum where you can post questions to the dye community. A must see.
• The Fabric Dyeing 101 blog is a GREAT place to start as a beginner – everything you need to know with a ton of pictures.
