hi…I have had great success with some dye baths..however my most recent one the dye seeped in and nearly covered all the garment..Was my dye bath to strong?thanks.
Hi Melissa, I have occasionally noticed this too. Were there any variables that were different? E.g. dyestuff for the dyebath, the tightness of the bundle, the cooking length? I’ve noticed that certain dyestuff such as eucalyptus shavings sometimes seeps into the bundle far more than others. And the longer you cook the bundle, the more opportunity for the dye to seep in.
