Katie's mystery silk Indio!

Katie sent me an Indio. It had a very patchy dye job as you can see below.  I stripped it which got rid of the majority of patches apart from a section at one tail.  We agreed on magenta and a purple acid dye.  I gave it two dips as after the first one the patch was still shining through a lot.  It's now barely noticeable.  The colour is very hard to capture.  In real life it is a deep magenta with a purplish coloured weft.

After. Like I said, very hard to photograph. It's much deeper magenta in real life, with a subtle purplish shade weft thread.
