space-dyeing yarn with acid dyes


Name: Christine
Message: I've been doing some basic, single-color dyeing with acid dyes on my wol yarn, and I'd love to try some hand-painted (space-dyed) yarns, but I've not been able to find much information on using the acid dyes for that. Can you recommend any good books or websites for yarn dyeing?

A good place to start would be with PRO Chemical & Dye's product instruction sheets. They sell many different types of dye, and provide instructions online for direct dye application on yarn and fleece. See the "Rainbow Dyeing" section for "PRO One Shot", "Rainbow Dyeing using Kiton Acid Dyes", "Rainbow Dyeing using WashFast Acid Dyes", and "Rainbow Dyeing using Sabraset/Lanaset Dyes".

Susan Druding has a good page on "A Simple Method of One-Pot, Multi-Color Dyeing with Acid Wool Dyes on Protein (Wool, Silk, Nylon) Fibers".
