Hello! Coming out of the lurking woodwork to ask a question about dyeing. I've done a little dying before, but don't claim to have any sort of clue!
I have a piece of 100% cotton chamois flannel (which, by the way, is lovely for faking the look of some wools) and it's a slightly pale red ("barn red" according to the label). I really want a more russet red, if that's the right name, sort of a more orangey, browny, warm, deep shade. Think "fall colors" not "Christmas." So, what color dye or dyes should I use to turn my pale red to this color? Brown? Orange? More red? An art store in my area carries Procion/Jacquard dyes, so that's probably what I'll be using. I'm not fixated on a specific color, I just want something different than what I've got! Thanks in advance, and apologies if I don't reply, I'm creeping back into the woodwork now. :) Claudine _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
