      Chilling the dye concentrates by mixing them with snow causes some dyes to separate into their component colors, and makes the dyes strike the fabric at different rates.

      I used turquoise,royal blue and yellow.
      I think next time I would use more contrasting colours

    Oh but I love these colours, so delicate. Depends what you want to use the silk for I suppose, Do you have any actual plans for it?
