Place a steam basket in a crock pot or slow cooker. (You can also use your Instant Pot for steaming your eco-prints. Use the low slow cooker setting) Put a small amount of water in the bottom of the crock pot, making sure that the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the steam basket. Place the packets of prepared ecoprint silks on top of the steam basket. Turn the crock pot on low. Leave it for 3 hours. Shut off the crock pot. Now walk away and allow the pot to cool down to room temperature of it’s own accord. This should be overnight but you can leave it longer, up to 30 hours. Longer than that and you risk mold forming on the fabric. During this cooling off period the vibrant colors are bonding with the fabric and deepening in hue.
