Microwave Dyeing

[Fatman]

Started out with the kool-aid, easter egg dye, then RIT and tried the Veniards but got tired of every time I went to order from a shop in NH they were out of the color I wanted - they only order twice a year. I've been getting Fly Dye from Anglers Workshop, if you can measure 1/2 tsp of the powder, boil a quart of water and mix them together then white vinagar to set the color anyone can do it. I believe there dye comes from Orco but still checking on that.

The last three dyes I got from Anglers were Blue Dunn, Slate Dunn and Olive

This is the Olive from Anglers Workshop

Ginger was the goal today (turmeric supposedly an option to Koolaid/Rit but we only have a little in the spice rack). A little Rit golden yellow and a drop of black - looked like greenish something in the dye bath but yielded a nice ginger/cinnamon.





This was pretty much undiluted; a bit more water would lighten things up a bit.
