Gold Pfau formerly known as Garnet:)

So I got myself one of the latest Didymos releases, the 50% linen Pfau, in a way sort of a birthday present. My birthday is not until the 22nd, but I doubt they`ll release something special then, so this birdie has to do it.
But I wasn`t very keen on the partiotic red colour. Of course it`s better for us than the pinkish Carmin Fische, but still...
I decided to let it swim with some TD in the washer. And like Phoenix from the flames, my P(h)au came out of the water all nice and gold -white.
Much happier with it now!







And with its` black and white brothers:



And I just wanted to add a few words after reading here and there that it is spoiling a perfectly pretty wrap. Well; it is mine and I prefer bolder/calmer colours with elaborate patterns like here. The crazy red wasn`t good for us, and as much as I liked it (on other people or on a shelf;), I am intending to use this wrap, so it had to work for us colour-wise as well...
So, the genuine colours purists, please don`t look;)

    TD is thiourea dioxide, but the bad news is, that both Burgundy and Petrol Pfauen are non-strippable:/
