Colours of the Rainbow

I spent one day dyeing all different fabrics with procion dyes  in the garden. Great place to dye fabric as I could use the hose and it didnt matter about the mess. I tried adding the soda ash later which often apparently means you get more varied colours. I packed the fabric tightly in containers a bit like tie dye without the ties. Seemed to work quite well.


Here are my two sinks filled with fabric that I was rinsing.
 I had rinsed them by colour before this. 

The finished fabrics

The fabrics in the front worked out very well as they are weave of cotton and polyester with the polyester forming windows/checks in the middle which didnt take the dye. Wish I knew where and when I bought the fabric!!!
