I chose Kelly Green because it looked like a nice light leaf green however that is not what I got. It looks like Kermit the frog has been turned a Fluorescent Green colour! Can any one help me correct this colour problem? I am new to using Jacquard immersion dye will I have to pick another colour or can I fix what I have already dyed to a leafy looking green?
Thanks for writing in. The trick with immersion dyeing with Acid Dye and different wools is temperature. Some need more and some need less temperature than others. It is a bit of a trial & error process. However, correcting this problem shouldn't be difficult. I would recommend an over dye with about 1/4 strength dilution of the Emerald Green. That should get you to your leafy green.
Thanks for the tip Annete will have to get some Emerald Green and give it a shot. Would just using emerald green on its own give me a leafy green colour if I decided to dye a new batch of white Alpaca green?
Sorry for the delayed response! That would be where I'd start (based on my own interpretation of 'leafy green') using a less than full strength dilution of the dye.
