Dyeing part 3

In my quest to get what I want in a dye job I moved onto attempt 3. 


I had a soaker already made in bare wool so I tried my 
hand at painting directly to the garment.


Soaking in vinegar and water


Garment is weighted down so it stays continually in the water. 


Color left over from 1st dyeing. 


Darkest bottle is applied to leg cuffs and crotch area. 


After steaming in the microwave. 


Nice color but that's because my camera is finicky.


Partially dry.


Finished product.  I wanted more gradation from light to dark but it's ok. 
I think I should have started with stronger dye stock.
