Dyed some light yellow cotton fabric - a brighter yellow and orange


 


I used some Tintex dye (Brilliant Yellow and Mandarin Orange  $1.60 each) which I bought at Dollarama to dye some of the light yellow cotton fabric I have on hand from the donation for GLA we received.  It worked really well.  I did a  half package and weighed fabric for the dark dye recipe.  It took 30 minutes for each batch and then I added more fabric into each one which gave me a lighter colour and then I mixed the orange and the yellow and got a light orange colour.  Nice to get a variety of hues in those two colours.  I have added some of these to my Jungle quilt.  It was colours I was missing and could easily be dyed from what I had on hand.  Therese
