Well I finally dyed today. Set up under garden umbrella to avoid rain diluting the dye. This was Procion Raspberry. Had to guesstimate quantities as my kitchen scales don't weigh accurately under about 10g. Instructions said 3-5g of dye powder per 100g dry fabric. I had 134g of dress so used about 1/3 of the 25g pack. Divided this into 4 portions. Dip-dye has worked but the colour is a bit more vibrant than I'd planned, though some will no doubt wash out after the printing stage. I don't have any potatoes big enough to make my stamps (not using my tasty garden spuds for this) so shopping tomorrow.
