I do have fun dyeing with them, though!Pallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250540236810377834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563327037193296537.post-43658972271758980972017-03-12T15:58:26.658-07:002017-03-12T15:58:26.658-07:00That lobster mushroom meat is delicious.

Rinse, let dry, and then see what happens.Pallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250540236810377834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563327037193296537.post-58743187165927330892016-09-11T18:16:31.187-07:002016-09-11T18:16:31.187-07:00Thanks for letting me know! :) I live in Australia...Thanks for letting me know! :) I live in Australia so it is unlikely I'll have access, but I've read that colours that pH shift that dramatically tend to be less colourfast.

Some yarns I dyed a couple of years ago with this mushroom seem quite colorfast. I had one skein a couple of years ago that over time the color shifted a little from a deep mauve to a rosy peach, but still has lots of color. Without a pH change, the colors are more in the apricot to rust shades.Pallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250540236810377834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563327037193296537.post-6867484576198515232016-09-11T15:05:24.125-07:002016-09-11T15:05:24.125-07:00Gorgeous colours!
