    What red do you love?

    I'm frustrated with my red, Jacquard's Crimson, and looking for another. It's so picky on mix. I have a small run of rainbow with pink.
    I don't appreciate pink.

    I won't necessarily be mixing colors, but I will manipulate edge bleed.

    I need a clear, basic red. Cool or warm shift matters little.
    I also need a brick/turkey red recommendation.

    And I said Procion lines. Mordants for beets don't allow cold water direct application dyeing.
