More about the process: First, a color reference will be chosen. It can be a scrap of fabric, a paint chip or peice of clothing. The target goods to be dyed, whether they be one item, many, or 12 yards of fabric, will need to be lighter in color than the chosen color. The item needs to be washable and dyeable - this means it needs to be a textile with a certain level of permeabilty. Some garments labeled "dry clean only" can still be washed and dyed however the owner must be aware that there is a certain level of risk involved that the dye may not take, or the garmet could be ruined in the process. The best fabrics to dye are cotton, silk, hemp, linen, rayon, nylon and wool. Synthetics such as polyester, blends and acrylics will still dye but sometimes require much more heat with slightly less accuracy. Samples will be provided once the process begins and once a color is approved, the garment or item will be dyed to the specific depth of hue desired in the technique discussed. Most colors will be permanent, washable and fade resistant. Its important to disclose the nature of the item so that the dyer can choose the most appropriate method and dye type. More detailed information can be discussed during consultation. Any questions? Please ask!

ABOUT

Jillian Coratti is a fiber-craft artisan and designer from Queens, New York.  Working in the theatrical costume industry since 2009, she has held many roles within the design and production process.  During the pandemic Jillian rediscovered her love of dye in various forms and started Muckrabbit.  As a creative outlet and seemingly useless side hustle,  her efforts later landed her a full time creative position as the Metropolitan Opera's costume dyer.  

In the future, Jillian hopes to continue nurturing the relationships she has developed throughout her career, helping designers achieve their visions by providing them resources and services.  (hopefully having some fun along the way!)
In her free time she enjoys gardening, dancing, spending time with her loved ones and of course, making art.
