The linen was a shirt from the op shop (thrift store)so maybe being well washed made a difference.

Did you pre-treat? It's lovely -- I've never gotten good results with linen. So far anyway! ;) Very glad to know the bird has parents watching over him. Sweet girl, Juno, I love your chickens, Nanette. Looking for some blue cloth around here now. xoPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7024731970662295086.post-26326899246381008122014-03-16T08:44:30.167+11:002014-03-16T08:44:30.167+11:00Love the results of your dyeing - very subtle.
