Really good info, thank you. What fabric are you dyeing, natural or manmade fibres?

I just saw this in time. I got a yellow that is way too bright and think I'll try this...might be all it needs and it's cotton so it should take quite well. Thanks for all the info here!

Thanks - I have some fabric I have wanted to do this for for a long time. I find it difficult to find muted coloured fabric. Will have to give this a try! However, I will have to buy some coffee - any suggestions as to type? ;-)

Nice idea for softening a color. By the way, who did you consult about doing you personal colors? I've heard people talk about getting them done but I have no clue as to who does this. Thanks!

Hi Sancin, I used freshly ground espresso coffee beans because that was what I had, although it makes for an expensive dye and I was reluctant to use too many of my beans! I do plan to try coffee granules as well and have also used tea bags (see updated link above). I'm not sure yet if the blend/roast makes a difference to the colour.

Thanks Oh2Sew2. We were lucky to have Wendy Walters run a colour workshop at our ASG group. It was a lot of fun. If you live in Sydney Wendy runs similar courses in Penrith.
