Ok, you HAVE to tell me how you got your crinny that shade of blue!!  I have dyed mine 3 times now and it is purple

What kind of crinny is it? I might even buy it off of you, if you sell it.

P.S. Great job on the crinny and the aisle runner.

<div>i used evening blue and died it in a bucket instead of the washer... crazy easy to do actually! i used the liquid dye instead of the powder because my joanns doesnt usually have that color in powder... i put it in the bucket with a bunch of hot water cant tell you how much exactlly... i let it fill until i though i could submerge the whole crinoline and i added the salt... i let it dye tottaly for about 40 minutes, i would take the crinoline out readjust it every 10 minutes to make sure everything dyed right and than would put the top back on the bucket to keep in the heat... after about 40 minutes i took it to the shower and let the water run over it until it camp out clear!</div>
