Adding a little black dye to the mix!



So, after dyeing with straight colors on Friday, I decided to tray-dye again but with some black dye added to the tray in different amounts as I saw fit (all a guess!) And this is the finished fabric.






I set up another table and laid these pleated-up pieces out straight so they would dry faster in the hot sun.



When I ran out of room I just used the containers again



The pile on the left is Friday's work with the straight colors....on the right with the black added. I may add even more black to the next ones...or dilute the colors for a lighter bunch. Let's see if the sun comes out today....for tomorrow is stormy.
