The colours have all been 'sexed up' with more appealing names and package designs...

| Dylon Handwash Dye - I paid £3.35 |
Best results are on cotton, linen and viscose, with a paler colour take on other fabrics. (I also dyed a thermal vest, which has turned out a lovely pale pink).
I prefer the Tulip Red result; very seasonal doilies I think...
But the Powder Pink is very pretty too...
They'll brighten up the table when I host next year's Time for Tea events.

I was going to say, been there, bought the tie dye t-shirt! I was always buying Dylon when I was at college in the 80's, usually black and purple for my goth stuff. The packs have certainly changed, haven't used it for a few years but I can still remember that smell when mixing it in a big pan.
ReplyDeleteI think your doillies have come out lovely they're just perfect for tea parties.
Hi Sally,I remember the tie dye stuff in the 70's. I think that was Dylon too!
ReplyDeleteYour doilies have come out lovely. I used to use the Dylon machine dyes in the 90s - I always bought them from good old Woolies! Sorry to hear about the accident at half term - I read your comment on Anne's blog. Hope you are ok and things are sorted out soon. x
