Acid dyeing natural black..

I dyed a very natural looking black using lanacron grey SB at 2.00%. The yarn was Falklands 9's. I enjoy using this yarn quite a lot it has a really nice finish, not too fine but it is on the chunkier side of the scale but, saves a lot of time winding and threading on the mill and on the loom. The process was quite straightforward I was lucky enough to have the dye room all to myself which made doing this again a lot more relaxing. The colour I was dyeing with of course didn't come out as dark as I wanted it was much more like a very dark navy blue. But I asked around the studio and I half the people I asked said it looked black so I was satisfied at that moment.
