Last night I finished the little tie dye project I had underway. The nappies came up beautifully! I dyed 12 nappies altogether, using 6 different colours ~ khaki, yellow, orange, red, sky blue and purple. I rinsed and rinsed and rinsed them out (by hand) to ensure the excess colour had all come out. Then this morning, I had the not so bright idea of putting them all in the washing machine on a rinse cycle with a little salt to help hold the colour plus a few drops of lavender oil to soften them and make them smell purty. But alas, the red ones ran! And we now have tie dyed pinkish nappies ~ can we say not happy Jan! Ah well, they're gonna have worse than pink dye on them in the not too distant future hey.
