Same dye on the same piece of burlap - the difference time makes

Two scraps of loose woven burlap on a stained dishcloth. The upper scrap is a light wine red and the lower, smaller scrap is a deep, almost black red.

The lower piece, which looks nearly black, sat overnight in a cold dye bath of Rit Red Wine, liquid, for organic fibres. The upper piece only spent 5 minutes in the same bath, but hot. Just to show the variety of colours you can get out of one dye.

I dye burlap scraps for use in other projects, mainly for texture in wet felting.
