Got ambitious last week and got my dyes out. Here are the results.The first set are from The Dyer's Dictionary that I am slowly going through. I can definitely see uses for some of these colors. May do a varigated using about 3-4 of these colors.
The red set is my attempt to dye a cmyk color: Clemson Orange. The front is using a converted formula that I could find online. The back is using 1/2 of the fuchsia. I have done some more research and have learned there are two sets of primary dyes that a couple of dyers use: an earthly one and a jewel one. I will do some more experimenting this week and see if I can actually come closer to the orange color I want.
I like your red, even if it wasn’t what you were aiming for.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I like them too!
DeleteDon't forget the Clemson purple to go with it! I may need some of both.
ReplyDeleteThat was going to be my next challenge. I have a project in mind for both colors.
