The Colours of New Zealand Placemat borrow from the colours found in our paua shell (abalone here in the US). The process starts by painting dye onto linen wrapped around a card.

The process (following the instructions with the Procion dyes from Dharma Trading Co.) is straight forward and after the rinse and a quick dry (with a hair dryer) it is ready to put onto bobbins.

The mix on the bobbins starts to show what the eventual stripe will be like.
