This was sure a fun dye!
Hubby and I placed a small piece of silk in a bowl and started to mush it around into the silk, until we were tired.
We got a lovely very pale gray-green which I didn’t like at first, but it has grown on me.
I’m going to embellish it with some silk embroidery thread/floss in a design TBD.
