Procion dyes question... odd results
OK, I'm trying to make some play silks. Several sets -- one for DS, the rest for gifts.
I did orange over the weekend, and they look gorgeous -- I'm amazed at how well this dye works!
I did blue today, and am very confused. I did six scarves, and three are purple, and three are blue. (The exact shade I got was Lapis, so it's not a purple-y blue!) The first three to go in are the ones that are purple -- they started that way and never lightened. The blues are much lighter, started that way and never changed. I did forget the casolene oil -- can that be the cause? I don't think anything else was different!
I'm just now washing them, but I don't expect any change, since they didn't change at all after rinsing...
Any ideas????
Thanks!
