The Results

These are the overdyed puce skeins, which came out variegated in a very nice way. The screen color lies, they are much more near the chocolatey brown than the vibrant rust you see here. I have been warned that the Kool-Aid dyes are not the least bit stable, or lightfast and will quickly disappear, colorwise, so I will abandon my experimenting with them.
The acid dyes are Kiton and very very old. Powder seems to last forever so I will believe that the dyes in my stash will do the trick. Plus I plan to visit The Fold today in Marengo IL where they sell Gaywool dyes. I need purple, royal, fuschia and turquoise, and of course RED. While I am there, I'll also look for some Frieda Green, since she would love to have some I am sure.

This red-orange gradation was a smashing success. I am delighted.


The light green is already dissipating, and I expect these will lose their colors before they even get swatched. I know I will be over dyeing them in the future.
