how to dye feathers

Message: You don't happen to know what dye to use on feathers, do you? I can't seem to find any information anywhere.

Since feathers are made of protein, like wool and silk, you can use acid dyes to dye them.

Jacquard Acid Dyes are recommended in this tutorial on dyeing feathers: <http://www.ginabellousdolls.com/feather_tutorial_1.htm>

Here are instructions for using ProChem's Washfast Acid Dyes on feathers: <http://www.prochemical.com/directions/WF_SilkFeathers.htm>
