Another Dye Experiment

There were a few late blooming roses and I thought, why not try a rose bath to see if I can get some pretty pink colored laces. I brought them in and put them in water and in the microwave for a couple of minutes - then I thought of the old dried ones I had gotten for Valentines, so I tossed one of them in, too.



I put four pieces in the bath and let them sit for about 36 hours, and here are the results:


I'm not sure what the fibers of the laces are, but am guessing that the ones that took the color best are cotton. The long piece is more of a brownish hue, and the motif is pretty true pink.
