Everything got a brief natural rinse in a passing rain storm last night. I hand rinse everything through a series of three containers of cold water. This gives me a good idea of which pieces might be casting off dye. I fear the six "flour sacks" (which turned out to have labels stating "Made in Bangladesh") that I picked up at Goodwill, might have a synthetic component which will refuse the dye. All & all there was very little dye in bucket #3...a good sign.
The "hot" load, the reds with fuchsia, are in the washer by themselves right now. I don't predict hours of ironing - That crazy, I am not.
Many of these pieces were cut and dyed for project of my own. After I take first pick, some of these pieces will wind up in groups over at the
shop. Eventually.
PS. As predicted by the magic 3 bucket rinse, the wash loads caused almost no dye down the drain... everthing is nearly as luscious dry as it looked wet!!

luscious is the word - i hope that turquoise piece makes it to the shop :)
Such gorgeous texture to go with the color--reminds me of coral.
