Our decision to not cut the fabric presented a problem when it was time to rinse the dye out. Even if we rinsed the approximately 40 metres of fabric by hand, where would we hang it to dry?
At this point, we decided it made more sense to cut the fabric at the points where it would wrap around the lamp posts. These three cuts would allow us to rinse and dry the fabric in the washer and dryer at school.
We began the task of unrolling the fabric, which had a very unpleasant smell from being left to sit in the chemical water for a week.
Luckily, once it had been washed, the smell disappeared and we were quite happy to discover that the dye had worked perfectly.
We then began sewing the pieces back together, and placed grommets on the ends so that we would be able to tie the material securely to the posts.
