Cable Ties and Elastic Dying

I am Dying the Cable Ties purple and green dip dyed, and the thick elastic (For the calf's and wrist) Purple.
I am Using...
For the Purple colour:
 Kemtex Royal Blue synthetic fabric dye, and Kemtex Fushia Red synthetic fabric dye
Dye Room session to find out the right mix...
2 1/2 tsp Kemtex Fushia Red synthetic fabric dye
1/4 tsp Kemtex Royal Blue synthetic fabric dye
1/2 cup salt 
full Large saucepan of water
and for the Green colour: 
 Kemtex Emerald Green synthetic fabric dye, Kemtex Royal Blue synthetic fabric dye,


Dye Room session to find out the right mix...
1 tsp Kemtex  Emerald Green synthetic fabric dye
1/4 tsp Kemtex Royal Blue synthetic fabric dye
1/2 cup salt 
full Large saucepan of water
Leaving the cable ties for different lengths of time's meant that the colours came out slightly different. Which I like this subtle variation. and the dip dying meant that they all came out differently depending how much of the cable tie was dipped.
