Glow-Up - Amal
My 3rd and final post for today is the Glow-Up - Amal post.

Once upon a time there was a jumbo ball of thread from Walmart and they grew up into a beautiful doily called Amal. Used 75gms from the ball, crocheted with a 2.00mm hook, I had maybe 10gms left over but that's ok by me, better than running out.

| Original color pallet sketch |
Color recipe for this piece is as follows, jacquard procionmx fiber reactive dye in Bright green, Emerald and Teal. Bright Green stock = 5% DOS, 2.5gms dye in 50ml water, I wasn't using a lot of this color so I reduced my dye and stock water, used 10ml here. Emerald stock = 5% DOS 5gms dye in 100ml water, used 30ml here. Teal stock = 5% DOS 7.5gms dye in 150ml water, used lots of teal that day, used 30ml here.

| All washed and ready to dry, luckily not so many white spots at the beginning likely because bright green tends tto break to a lemon yellow a bit like this. |
 |
| All wound up and ready to work. |

| Very pleased with the color progression on this one |
