I'm really enjoying over dyeing items at the moment! I have a grey t-shirt that I hardly ever wear. The labels are long gone, so I don't know the exact fibre content, but it does feel like it contains a high percentage of cotton. So I decided to over dye it. What's the worse that could happen? I ruin a t-shirt that I hardly ever wear? After much contemplating, I decide to go with blues, purple and pinks. I sprinkle 5 dyes on the pre-soaked t-shirt, cover it with ice, then sprinkle a 6th dye on top. What do you think of the results?
Fibre reactive dyes can be used on plant based fibre and animal based fibres. Acid dyes can only be used on animal based fibres.

I have a monthly yarn subscription that can be purchased through my Patreon: / fromthecauldron Each month you'll receive 100g of yarn in your chosen weight dyed in a mystery colourway and some goodies made by other small businesses. Another perk for Patreons is they get early access to the video where I dye that month's yarn and they get to vote for next month's theme.
