where to order DEKA dyes and paints


Name: Laura
Message: Do you know where in the US one can order DEKA dyes? Dharma Trading does not carry them anymore. If not, do you have a European contact you have ordered from before?

I appreciate your help on this matter,

DEKA dyes cannot now be purchased anywhere in the US. They can be ordered from Europe. See my listing of dye suppliers around the world. George Weil Fibrecrafts, in the UK, sells DEKA dyes. I ordered from this company once and found that the dye I received, in my case a special fiber reactive dye, was of high quality and quite satisfactory, though the delivery was slower than from a company in Germany.

You might want to consider another sort of dye, which can be ordered at lower expense from within the US. DEKA L Hot Water dye is an all-purpose dye, and thus for most purposes is inferior to fiber reactive dye, and DEKA Silk Paints are not superior to other silk paints.

UPDATE: Chicago Canvas & Supply (Illinois - phone 1-773-478-5700) now sells DEKA L dyes (a type of all purpose hot water dye).

(Please help support this web site. Thank you.)
