Intense Violet


I have been experimenting with dyeing lace and love the results!

I used Dylon intense violet permanent fabric dye. 
Good for cottons, wool and silk.


First wash your fabric and leave damp. 
You then mix the dye with 500ml warm water, add 5tbsp salt and
add that mixture with 6 litres water. 
Stir for 15 min.
Thankfully I have a big stainless steal sink in the laundry room that's perfect for this!

What great colour!


After your 15 min is up stir occasionally for 45 min.


Let dry way from direct sunlight.


Voila!
The end result...
A mina + oli bag with some intense violet lace!
