The colors will get a bit more saturated leaving it longer, but the real way to get saturated color is to use more dye powder mixed with water. Most "recipes" call for far less dye powder.<br />I will cover briefly dying flat on platters later on.Frieda Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110678234987761607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611779285881826866.post-50028346102079511782011-01-12T07:35:55.627-06:002011-01-12T07:35:55.627-06:00I hope that you'll also give us some detail an...I hope that you'll also give us some detail and tips for the gradations on one length of fabric.

You say that you usually leave yours 6-8 hours rather than go the entire 24. Is there a reason for that in regards to the color achieved?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-611779285881826866.post-88187203139459622632011-01-12T06:58:15.817-06:002011-01-12T06:58:15.817-06:00No, I will talk about pastel colors in the next po...No, I will talk about pastel colors in the next post.
