Just thought I'd tell you what I did try with this lovely bit of wool that was too pink... I had attempted overdying this piece of fabric several years ago, with what I don't remember now with the only result was the fulling of the fabric.
Therefore I started with a dye remover. I suspect that I didn't have enough to do much for the yardage, but since I saw NO color seepage into the water, I doubt it would have mattered if I'd had more. I had the brown dye on hand and I'm not likely to use brown dye anytime soon, so I went ahead and did the dye bath. It did not take, at all. In the end, I turned the fabric over to the friend who owns it and I believe she is planning to have a lovely fucshia viking caftan/overcoat of this wonderfully fulled wool. She will be warm, dry and highly visible when wearing it. alex > On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 4:21 PM, Alexandria Doyle <garbaho...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> I have a length of wool that is a fushia color that I would like to >> take to burgundy. any suggestions on the colors to add to the fushia >> to get burgundy?
