I made the table from it last night and this morning. Not a bad color. I would call it a honey beige.
The table is really straight, with curved legs....Zar is just pushing too hard with his feet. Bad Zar.
It will, of course, reside in Tessie's weaver's cottage until I sneak it away.
I thought that you might like to see some of the other colors that I have done with regular old Rit dye.
It was done with plain old Dark Brown Rit. It takes a while for it to get this dark, but I am definitely going to do more now that I am out. Lots of stiring if you want the color to be consistent.
This one was done with Rust Rit. I purposely didn't stir it too much. I wanted a rustic look with some unevenness in color. This is another one that I would like to do, but I have trouble finding the Rust Rit. I haven't really tried lately.
I used to also do dark green, but I ran out of that ages ago and I sold all of the pieces in that particular color.
Anyway, the search begins. I will start with Walmart tomorrow and widen the search to other stores if they no longer carry the colors that I need.
One of the bottles will do several skeins of thread like I did yesterday.
That part, I don't have to buy. I have been collecting older threads(which I prefer) from thrift shops for a long time. Bring on the dye! I am ready to go now.
See you tomorrow.

Casey ~ Your wicker furniture is gorgeous & it's amazing you created the table so quickly! Well done!
Ohh that new color looks like natural wicker! I love it!
Beautiful table Casey - and I love the colour. I haven't been able to work those curves yet but I'm going to go back to your tutorials again and give it another try. I think it will take me a very long time to get anywhere near the same result as yours but it will take even longer if I don't try at all. :-) Thank you so much for not only all the inspiration you provide but for the wonderful instructions in your tutorials as well.- Marilyn
