I tried one last attempt to multicolor kettle dye with dry dye. I prepared water and vinegar and put in 4 oz of punta fiber. Then I added cherry, reseda green, and Copenhagen blue dyes. I watched the fiber carefully making sure it didn’t go over 150 degrees. When the dyebath was clear, I let it cool over night and rinsed it out in the morning.

As you can see the colors are very intense and rich. I think some of the most of the green was lost and the red blended with the blue a good bit. This is not a good dyeing technique if you want definition between colors. However, it definitely has a charm all it’s own and I am quite happy with the way this came out.
