I called Jacquard and spoke to a chemist. They said that I should never test with less than 1 gram of dye if I want to have accurate results. churylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818042371586325634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1436421032239107606.post-66257693748102430212016-01-20T12:50:48.215-05:002016-01-20T12:50:48.215-05:00Fascinating post, I always measure my dye when usi...Fascinating post, I always measure my dye when using procion but use weight of fabric when natural dyeing.

I took a class that weighed and used a 5% solution and that was very convenient when doing a lot of dyeing.
