Fabric Dyeing Help!!!

[Buffy]

I didn't realise colour mixing applies when you dye fabric.
Thought you just got the colour on the packet *blush*
(can't find a blushing smilie)

anyway I had This kind of green curtain which when dyed with chocolate
They have now gone a lovely Dark green
But I want chocolate (A bit Darker than this) Curtains.

So Guess I need to add a red hue but am not sure whether to go for Terracotta, Red or Dark Red
Does anyone have experience? or know of a good colour mixing site?

If you have dark green now I think it would be really difficult to turn it to a chocolate shade. I think if you add a red (of whatever shade) you might end up with something that looks a bit like errrr, well I wouldn't like to say, lol....

You can get a product called pre-dye which will strip the original colour out before you replace it with new dye. I know Dylon have it.

All the best with it!

Thanks craftmatters x x

I am using dylon and saw their pre-dye albeit a bit too late *blush*

Worried now that the dyed curtain, will not look the same if I pre dye them all as it is a different colour now from the rest.



Wish I had never started this!! I could have brand spanking new chocolate curtains for the amount I spent on dyeing these!
