Oh! How I Have Been Dyeing To Dye!

As you can see I have made it back to the dye pots!   I needed some fall colors for some pumpkins I am going to start working on.  I used Holly Hill Designs Dyeing For Color.   In the past I have used many dyes like Cushing, Jacquard, and Pro-Chem.   I really am starting to like Pro-Chem the best.   I do use all of the dyes that I have listed but really enjoy the ease of Pro-Chem.  I also like the vibrant colors that you get using this dye.
 
Drying in the Texas heat!  100+ outside

No need for the dryer....with slight hot/dry breeze!

    Yummy pumpkin colors - can you share the recipe? Or is it from a published book? Thank you for sharing links to the videos - I enjoyed watching them - especially Heather's - with her cute English accent!
