Last night I took the fabric pieces out of the dye-bath and put them through a rinse cycle in the washer.
Turns out after onion skin water has stagnated for 24 hours, it smells a little bit... yucky...
Hung them up to dry in the living room, went to bed, and was greeted by this scene upon waking!
(The rack was originally vertically oriented...)
Thanks a lot, Lefty!
The wool (at the top) seems to have hogged all the color, leaving everything else a sort of bland maize color. The synthetic fabrics really didn't pick up much color at all. Next time I think I will try not to crowd the dye-bath so much and maybe dye only wool, and hopefully get some more bold colors. Still, I like it! They're pleasant colors.
Special thanks to my helper, Lefty the cat.
Now... what to do with my maize-toned fabric bundle?
