not in anything i seen of you post . I have given mixed thought about avocado, could you tell me more about dying with it . i have done some . would like to learn more . thank you for your time
Hey Cheryl, I never do. I don't see any benefit to that, if the piece is dyed properly, using mordants and stable dyes, it's sufficient to only keep it in a hot dye bath for an hour and rinse immediately after. Was there any article or post that gave you the impression it's better to do that?

Sure! I have two links for you. The first one is a blog post I shared a while back which covers tips for extracting pink from avocado https://www.kaliko.co/blogs/articles/5-tips-for-dyeing-pink-with-avocado
And the other one is a course by my friend Rebecca Desnos which is a super comprehensive class all around avocado dyeing https://rebecca-desnos.teachable.com/p/dye-with-avocados
I hope that helps!
thank you for your help
have a question , when you dye , have you let the item dry before rinsing ?
