OK, since we have expert peoples on here who've done this before and know what they are doing!!! I have a question...
I've been playing again today and have another 5 pairs of colours gently stewing in the bathroom. But as I had a small amount of dye left over, I had a go at space-dyeing an odd piece of plain white calico.
Its come out really nice in the centre, but the edges are too burgandy and dark blue for my liking - if I over-dye with pure bright yellow will it change the overall colour of the piece? or should I just drop spoonfuls around and about?
How about if I used bleach and sprinkle that strategically over the dye - I know from my City & Guilds work that the bleach will take the dye straight out, so can I then over-dye with the yellow to get a brighter effect?
I appreciate that I could try all these options to see what happens myself, but the piece does look rather yummy and I'm interested to hear what other people have done before I start re-inventing the wheel... "OK since you're so clever, you tell us what colour it should be..."
I also have a piece of WOW fabric that I tried space-dyeing, but its come out totally purple - we used far too much Raspberry and Turquoise and the whole thing is far too dark for my liking - can this be rescued at all?
