It is finicky about the weather and doesn't like it too cold, like Winter in Canada. Touchy and a PITA...ask me how I know. You need a LOT of soda ash...probably way more than you used and it still disappoints, unless you use Mercerized cotton.

Protein is quite forgiving, you just throw Acid-dye at it, and it sticks! Cotton has that whole "needs to be reactive" thing, and you do have to soak and mordant it correctly, and then follow instructon perfectly... Otherwise, you end up wiht no dye in your yarn! :-(<BR/><BR/>Better luck next time, and yes, when you do get it right, dyeing is very, very satisfying!NikolaAnnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16721285603657577165noreply@blogger.com
