When resoaking the reed for use in a basket, use a separate container for each color there will be a little bleeding. Your dyebath can be saved for later use. It will yield lighter shades each reuse. Store in a sealed container in a dark and cool place. The bath will finally be exhausted, with no usable color left.
Many baskets are especially nice with graduated shades of the same color.
Prepare three dyepots using about a quart of boiling water for each. Scale up or adjust as you please. You are welcome to reproduce and distribute this riff as long as our name stays on it.
