I used I-dye for this project. It's not as colorfast as fiber reactive dyes (Procion) which are set with soda ash. I chose the I-dye because I could get it locally and had used it for some other projects and was pretty pleased with it.
It did run off quite a bit of color when I washed it. I wish now that I had done a couple of washes before I had cut it and pieced it.
I'm still on the learning curve with the chemicals!
