[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 9578087, member: 13464"]I've heard that you can use a salt soak to "set" dyes... This came off my google search... there are more comments if you google. Mix colors Add salt if dyeing cotton or linen or white vinegar for wool or silk; the amount will depend on the size of the dye bath. We used ¼ cup of either salt or vinegar for a bath of about 1 gallon, ½ cup for 2 gallons, and 1 cup for 3 or more gallons. (These additions help the fabric take the dye.)Sep 26, 2023 Good luck!
