Jawa – Fabric Dyeing, Part Deux

Pumping Up The Color…

Needs more punch…

I’m thinking the washing machine method just doesn’t work too well because the water doesn’t get as hot as when you heat it on the stove. So, for the second round of dyeing, I’m using the stove method. Here, the dye bath is ready for the cloth…

The cloth added to the dye bath. For this round, I left the cloth soak for an hour, agitating it every 10 to 15 minutes…

After rinsing, washing, and drying…

It’s not exactly the same as the original Jawa robe but I kinda like the new color better; a bit less red, and more orange/brown…
