At long last, after a week of promises, I have the results of my dyeing to show you.
Here is the colour study triangle that I told you about. 28 fabrics (7 metres) made using 3 colours.
I did this in plastic bags with each bag having 6 spoons of dye in various combinations of the 4 colours. In this picture I have written the formula on some of the fabrics to show you how I did it - It seems more complicated than it is. If you want to know more just ask.
These are the dull colours. When I first pulled them out of the machine I figured that they were all duds (bad and would need overdying). As I ironed them however I found lots of sections that had some great shapes and colours and lines (and a Spider that B found! in one - an image not a real one...)
And here a some more pics just cause I love the colours....
I also did another dyeing batch today because I needed some more reds and purples. There's some interesting colours amongst that batch too.

Can't wait to see what you do with all those beautiful fabrics Sophie.
You've got to be very happy with the colours. Ditto I 'm looking forward to seeing what you make too.
yum - lots of lovely dyeing. can't wait to see what you do with it (says the woman who dyed on monday and promptly "filed" all the dyeing away to use "someday)
