Don't be afraid to bring the water to boiling point and simmer if you have to ... heat and salt are very important  :daumenhoch:

Ok here we go..... it started out as white (ish)  :LolLolLolLol:

 i added 2 pots of dye at first and 1.5 kg of cooking salt

and simmered it for about 20 mins in my fooking massive dyeing pot...

and ended up with this... :'( :(

 A little dissapointed, probably due to the size of me pot, so in went some more salt (1.5 kg) and 2 more pots of dye alot more heat and left it for another hour stirring every now and then. I then took it out and was amazed at the change it looked really good, just covered in salt

a bit of a wash and..... voila  8)
:smitten:
needless to say im very happy. Thanks to Harris for giving me the confidence to do it and the tech section showing me how. Skyways next..........................
