What? You ask.
The fact that I can't remember the last time a dyeing session went according to plan.
I'm sure it's a conspiracy.
The Proof
First up: Blue 1 and Blue 2
These correspond to our first two colors in the color palette below.
I was sad to see that in Blue 1, only a tiny quasi-microscopic hint of purple made it out...
Both are up for overdyeing. I have this obnoxious pink that might just make a purple out of that navy, while the light blue is the right color, just a shade too light. It's getting the same bath as before.
Next up: Egg Yolk
I kid you not, my yellow dye is strong... I keep forgetting that.
>_<
>_<
This corresponds to the one variegate that could've been...
Last but not least, a complete miss...
Peridot
My camera refused to take a good picture of this thread, so I had to fudge with the colors of the image a little, but this is pretty dang close. The real one is a little more yellow, giving it a gorgeous golden hint.
And it was supposed to be grey.

| What I'd originally had in mind... |
Despite the fact that they were all pretty different than what I was going for... I have to say that I like them. If the two blues weren't practically identical to threads that I already had I wouldn't even bother touching them. As for Egg Yolk and Peridot, I gotta say that I really like them.

Update!
I'm keeping the dark blue!
It's henceforth known as Berry Bubble Gum.

I just found your blog and was very interested in your dyeing progress. I had a similar situation happen when I believed that using the three primary dye colors I could mix them mathematically to come up with a dozen different shades of brown. FUNNY! I have a dozen lovely pieces none of which are any real shade of brown! I still keep on trying and one of these days I'm gonna have it figured out.
ReplyDeleteTrial and error >_< but you're right! I didn't get the colors I wanted, but I've gotten tons of pretty ones in their place!
