Lucious Wool for Kilims Continues
Here is another great color to use in Kilim rugs. This is Mocha Chino, a Prochem dye, use 1/4 tsp. over 1/2 yard Dorr natural. It was dyed in a Presto Pot in a dye solution only deep enough to just barely cover the wool. After the initial stir, the wool was only stirred once after the Citric Acid was added. The effect is a wonderful warm brown with tones of gold. Really hard to describe, but really a lovely color.
