I just recieved a nice big roll of 100% Czech linen and I wanted to know how nicely it took up dye.
The first side I dyed was a beautiful mix of aquamarine and emerald green which resulted in a soft tropical ocean-y green.
The next side I thought would look pretty as a nice deep red wine color. When I came time to mix the dye I realized I didn't have enough dye to get a nice strong color but went ahead and started anyway. About half way down the 2nd side I knew I'd need something different to punch up this color so I transitioned to a nice medium purple color.
It wasn't until I was rinsing the wrap that I realized I'd seen this color combo before......it looked exactly like a Girasol Wrappers Paradise. What luck!! I hadn't started out trying to recreate this colorway but had in fact stumbled upon it. Sometimes I get the best results when I don't have any particular result in mind when I start out!
Here it is, my Faux Wrappers Paradise.
