Dying fabric

So I've been dying a range of fabric (mainly silks, cottons and velvet).
At the start of the design development process red was always the colour I wanted to use for my base colour. It was the fabric which I had to really think about. After making a cold dye bath using 1 x heaped tspoon of  DS acid rubine red dye and 3 x tspoon of ammonium sulphate, I decided the velvet sample was the most opulent. So there it is, velvet will be my base fabric.
