All three colors were used on every piece of fabric. Of course colors do run and blend in the dye bath so some interesting variations occur. Two purples was probably not the best plan, but that is what the muse wanted. 😊😊
The final fabrics are now in the soak bath that I do to prevent bleeding, I will change it out at least once this evening. Tomorrow morning it will be done soaking and I will wash it in the washing machine. Then there will be a full array of results to see.
For now, here are two photos that I snapped while getting them into the bath.

The red/orange in this is because the dye "broke" or separated into the colors that it was mixed from. |

In this case the purple and yellow made a rich warm brown. I love it. |
A bit late, but here is a link to the Craftsy Class on Fabric Dyeing.

That came out really nice!! Was the dye "breaking" a "happy accident" or can you get it to do that "on purpose"? That question probably tells you how little I know about dying - ;))
I love the brown made with gold and purple.
Those are going to be some interesting fabrics. I really like the purple and yellow piece.
