In Dye Time #136 (   • Dye Time #136: Dyeing A Rainbow, Hand Pain...  ) I dyed a rainbow on cotton yarn. As fibre reactive dyes start reacting as soon as they come into contact with water, I had the choice of either using the left over dyes straight away, or pouring them down the sink. I chose to use them up to low immersion dye this yarn. Acid dyes may stain cotton, but it's a lot of work for maybe a tiny amount of colour.
