I knew that I would get brown with this blend but I thought I might get richer browns and I was right. I love the texture in these 4 fabrics.
A note about my colors. The fabric on the left in each of these 3-part blends is one of my own recipes. None of them are based on commercially available blended dyes. The names are names I pick. My recipe book is code based and the code in parentheses is what I normally call the color. I mention all of this because someone asked recently.
The Sea Blue on the left (22E) is one of my favorite recipes. I use this blue a lot. I didn't mixed these with the dyes a lot so these fabrics (and the ones in the previous sample) are more textured than usual. I love that jade green on the left (right next to the blue).
Both sets are wonderful! Those browns are really rich. Sometimes it's hard to get such nice browns...looks like you have it perfected!

OH.. I like all of them. When you say 3 part, what's that mean? Still trying to get brave enough to dye something on my own!

I love the shades and the mottling in your pieces, would be wonderful to work with.

I just love your work. I just ordered the book and I've done some dyeing but not a lot. Really going to this year. What fabrics do you use and where do I get a good PFD fabric.
