So, i have decided to try dyeing wool roving! it worked so well until after pouring the colours.
After the 4 minutes in the microwave i noticed the blue ( yeah that is blue in the middle) was 'fixed' but the rest of the colours were runny. well i could only think this had something to do with the dyes i used. The blue is Jacquard and the rest are i-dye or i-colour. comes in a satch like vegetable seeds and says add salt or vinegar. It failed to say it doesnt work as good as the real jacquard dyes. I am not getting them i-dyes no more, no good value for money.
Anyway, decided to buy citric acid off ebay as it is not in TESCOs and see if it will work. I will post them photos of dried wool once some sunshine shoes up around here!
