second extraction, this time using the hot water-kneading japanese method. could not bring myself to open the tap (yes it has a tap!) and dispensing the liquid as there was dye . added the second water and dunked the linen knit which had been mordanted in alum-tannin- alum and then wound shibori like to a plastic rope.
the color is a bit darker than in the photo and also duller, not as clear as the first water.this will be dipped a couple more times to develop the color.
neki desu
looking at the dyeing doings over here!
