2nd beet bath results

The results at my 2nd beet dye bath are below! the first one shows the same cotton scarf as before, which i over dyed with the new dye bath - but before i rinsed it. it was a very pretty light pink, but none of it stuck. (see below)

Here are all 3 pieces hanging to dry. From left to right you're seeing the same cotton scarf as above, but rinsed - notice that none of the pretty pink from above hung on to the fibers. it's beige. next is wool dipped in strawberry dye twice. it's a nice brownish orange color. finally, the dark one is wool dyed with the 2nd beet bath. in fact, the cotton and the wool were in the same pot at the same time this time. obviously the wool takes the beet dye far better than the cotton does. close ups of each are below.

here's a closeup of the wool dyed twice with strawberry

here's the cotton scarf, dyed a second time with beet dye, which didn't make much of a difference in color.

and finally, a close up of the wool, dyed with the 2nd beet bath.
