They faded a bit, but to a yummy soft color. I did another batch of dish towels in turmeric and the color held up a bit better. I just washed them in cold water.

I always have to buy too many to account for the parts that "go missing." LOL My favorite way to enjoy avocados is to sneak-eat pieces of them when I’m cutting them up to use in salads or guacamole!

Natural dyes often fade more quickly than commercial/chemical types, and with an item that gets washed as much dish towels (at least in my house) it seems like it might fade quickly. I guess that means you can just do another layer of batik and dying over the faded one though, and get a richer set of textures that way. I pinned this: http://pinterest.com/pin/146507794100281015/
