wishy washy

I crammed my washed and soda soaked fabric into a cat litter tray, scrunching and pleating.  I poured the dye over and watched as amazing splodges and patterns formed.  It looked delicious.  I walked off intending to leave it for a couple of days, but it looked so good.  I couldn't wait and went back and rinsed it.  BIG MISTAKE!

I have the most insipid pile of wishy washy nothing cotton I have ever seen.  Most of it is soaking in the soda bucket ready to over dye.  Or do I strip the colour out and start fresh? My impatience is my downfall.
