Here's the completed result of my dying a couple weeks ago. I am happy with the results, though surprised that they washed out this light. As I mentioned in this post, I did it completely "seat of the pants." Next time I will measure the ratio of dye powder to water in my dye concentrates. I think I made them too weak. But I don't have much dyed fabric so any color is a good color right now.
One interesting thing was the result of using some concentrates that had been sitting around for about 18 months. There was some blue and some red, so I just dumped it all into a bin. In the water it looked very dark. But when they were washed not a lot of the dye bonded to the fabric, so lavender was the result. So, I am not convinced about the "dye only keeps for a week or two, unless refrigerated" story.
