How does it work?
Synthetic food colours can be used with citric acid or vinegar and heat to colour yarn so we’ve created this super-fun kit with all you need to give it a go!
Is it easy?
Yes! The colours are ready to use and there’s no need to add any extra fixer (it’s already in the pots) so you just need to add water and go. It really is super-easy, quick and fun to do and produces amazing results. Simply soak your yarn or fibre (not included in the kit), mix up your colours with just tapwater and squirt it on! Heat the yarn and let it cool. When you rinse it you’ll unveil your amazing, one-of-a-kind, hand-dyed yarn!
What can I dye?
You can dye just about any yarn, fibre or fabric made from animal fibre – wool, alpaca, angora, mohair (and also silk).
Does the colour last?
Yes! Once the item has been fixed and rinsed it can be washed as normal (we suggest hand-washing but a wool cycle in your machine should be fine).
