Dyeing too light

Posted by admin on October 15th, 2009 at 01:07am

So thanks to this forum I’ve sorted out a lot of my problems, but isn’t there always something..

I used to dye pieces for 3-5 minutes and get great, dark, deep results. Lately everything comes out thin and pastel-like, though I leave it in 140 degree dye for 20-30 min. I tried to take pictures but you can’t see the difference between old and new dye jobs in them. It’s even hard to do acid washes because I can only tell where the dye is removed in very intense light.

Is it a problem of pore size maybe? I’m doing everything by the book now and it’s so frustrating to not get results I used to get when I was more careless.
