Dying

Olive says ....

I am on a roll at the minute - running in from work to set up dye baths between doing the ironing etc!
.
I  did some dying last night - mixed results. Thought I would dye a colour wheel - in some cases dye took very well - yet in other where I had used a different colour of blue dye - it just washed out????? Does procien dye go 'off' in powder form? I Must admit my dyes have been lying around for a couple of years. However still managed to get some really interesting coloured cloth. Also tried using my 'doughnuts' that I got at the quilt show. You simply fold the material and clamp it between 2 rubber clamps and dip in dye bath - voila- circles dyed onto material.
