I had notice that it was a bit light for a bliaut. Were you planning on
making the "mini" pleated type garment with this? If you were going to use
it for a regular bliaut and have the lining add the weight, you need to
consider the color of the lining when choosing embroidery/trim accents
because the color will change.
Now for making you look younger, I'm sure that if this fabric does that and
you are not happy, there are several women here who would gladly take it of
your hands. It would be no problem.:)
Shades of green are good as accent. Golds, some blue shades, pinks, silver
and gray. You may want to consider two colors for accent but don't have too.
Wish I could be as enthusiastic about dyeing like you but I think my
enthusiasm went towards embroidery and beading. :)

Hi,
Thanks for the response!
I feel a lot happyer now :-) .
It also looks better now in daylight.
The only problem I have with it is that this colour probably will make
me look even jonger than most people alredy think I am... :-\
And I have to look what colour belt and embroidery wil look better on
the gown than yellow.
I think green would look well.
More reasons to dye more fabrik :-) .
It is so much fun.
Meekrap is indeed madder
We used alun as a mordand
And dyed it in a copper pan.
20% alun and afther a while I added 200% madder.
and then cleaned with water with a little ammonia.
I hope it won't ruin the silk.
But it looks ok now.
It is very thin silk don't know what it is called.
Greetings,
Deredere
