Hue & Dye acid milling dyes |
||
|
Our new acid milling dyes are easy to use on any animal (protein) fibre, e.g.: wool, silk, angora, cashmere, alpaca. Fully intermixeable, light- and colour-fast they can be blended to create a range of colours to satisfy the wildest imagination! Don’t worry, they aren’t made of acid, it’s just that a mild acid such as white vinegar or citric acid (and heat) is used to make the dyes permanent. Turn your undyed yarns into a fabulous colourful creation in under an hour! Hand-dyeing of yarn is simple and fun, requiring only basic household equipment. If you have not used acid dyes before we would recommend that you start by purchasing one of our starter kits which include dyes, fixer and full instructions. For more in-depth information on hand-dyeing techniques we would recommend Debbie's book Hand-dyed Yarn Craft Projects available from our Books section. |
