[Ansteorra] To dye or not to dye

[Elisabeth B. Zakes]

>From Aerin:

Dyeing the fabric in advance is going to produce a more even application of
the color throughout the fabric.  Dyeing after the garment is made can
result in a lack or excess of dye at the seams, hem, and especially in
densely stitched areas, such as where two seams come together.
