Standard Rainbow Dye kit for wool or silk
It is an easy way to learn about dyeing for those who have not tried it before and equally suitable for those with some experience. It has simple to follow instructions with photos. Can also be used for other animal fibres such as alpaca or mohair. Ideal for creating your own unique knitting yarns, for example, self-patterning sock yarns. Can be used by spinners and felt makers to dye their own fibres.
Contains a colour palette of yellow, red and blue and black. This will enable you to produce "rainbow" colours when they naturally mix in the dyeing process and the colours can be individually mixed to produce virtually any other colour.
Kit includes: 4 bottles of dye powder, rubber gloves, disposable apron, instructions. (Photo shows silk scarf but is not supplied in this kit).
You will need to supply your own yarn or fibre to dye, some old newspaper, paper towels for any spills, small microwaveable vessel, some cheap vinegar and a bit of cling film or plastic. Dyes can be used in the microwave or in a pot on the cooker. Dyes will keep for a year once mixed.
Kit is suitable for adults or sensible children 12 years or over with adult supervision and help.
