BBBruce77 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2022 Your dyed colors are brilliant and have encouraged me to dig out my dying materials and give it a shot again. Used to do a lot of it back in the late 90's. Be interesting to see if my old dyes still work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
