Done Batching

After 48 hours in the roaster I rinsed the warps. The violet is not as bright as I hoped but the turquoise is brilliant - as are the reds. Despite being taken in the dark basement under fluorescent lights the colors are pretty true.

Yet another use for the roaster! Just set the dial for about 100°.

That is such a great idea! Nice warps too, might just inspire me too :-).

What great colors - I'll bet you'll enjoy weaving that off.

BTW - thank you for those copies of your coursework notes - they arrived yesterday in the mail. MUCH appreciated!

Great results! Guess the dyes stay good for a while!

i love this dyeing. Painted warps are my favourite. I look forward to seeing the resultant woven cloth. These photos inspire me to get back out to my studio...thank you.
