In the house is a different matter, I pick up the bundles in their plastic bags and squeeze 'em or drip a little vinegar on, etc. -- just can't leave the things alone! Of course, I don't write any of it down. My goal is a dye journal.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-35758124987259929022011-09-18T12:57:34.292-06:002011-09-18T12:57:34.292-06:00Deb, it's worth another go -- I really wonder ...Deb, it's worth another go -- I really wonder now what would've happened without the iron -- would it have stayed red?
