dyes

[plum]

what kind of dyes do you use? i've been using kool-aid and it's worked great for me, but i'd like to try colors 'outside the realm' of what kool-aid has to offer.

what other kinds of dyes have you tried? your favorite/least favorite? i use 100 % wool yarn, BTW.

I have used acid dyes from Dharma Trading.

if i wanted to dye, say, a full skein of fisherman's yarn three different colors (just an example) how much dye and stuff do you think i would need?

I like to try it before I buy a lot, so I just got the 1/2 oz jars. You get a discount when you purchase 10.

Hey... there's an idea.... check the swap a rama in about 2 minutes.

I have about every color under the sun if you'd like to try some out, I'd be happy to send you some in a ziplock for the cost of shipping.
