the benibana chronicles II or is it III ?

 silk yarns, shoking pink still elusive. however there's still summer to keep on.the colors are not bad, especially that electric orange.

cotton is a no brainer, but it's hard on silk. no wonder dyers in japan devote to just  one dye.

i now have the process and am working on my own take. 

one needs to adjust to many factors and i am guessing one of the most important is the quality of the dyestuff.  ordering next week from netherlands and see how their dyestuff compares. also found out that it's a very slow take up of the dye as it is dyed cold. information found says overnight, but that doesnt cut it.i've left yarns 2-3 days until exhaustion of the dye and still they come out a medium value.

the above are the  surrogate cotton fabrics which will be discharged to get   red for silk.but again wish i could get those pinks on silk.

look at the binding thread. it always happens that binding threads are full of gorgeousness.
