Smoky Blue with Prochem/ Smokey Purple with Majic Carpet

This is a "use your trust and imagination" exercise.
I'm pulling this recipe out of the ancient archives, and there were no technology for pictures back then.
Dye this over 1/4 yd. wool in a regular dye bath.

This is a beautiful medium value colour, please dissolve in 1/4 cup boiling water topped of to one cup with lukewarm water

2/32 tsp Prochem Blue 440
1/128th tsp Prochem Sun Yellow 119
1/128th tsp Prochem Magenta 338
1 toothpick Prochem Black 672

For a close Smokey Purple using Majic Carpet Dyes:
Over 1/4 yd.dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water topped of to one cup with lukewarm water
2/32 tsp Blue
1/128th tsp Yellow
1/128th tsp Red

Try combining both these formulas over 1/2 yd of natural, or over a yd for a lighter colour.
Try using these for a spot dye.
Have fun ! Let us know how it goes.
