Easidye All-in-one Acid Dyes for Wool - 6 x 10g taster

Dear Customer,

This is a taster pack of 6 of my Easidye All-in-one Acid Dyes for wool fleece or yarn (including Silk, Nylon, Mohair, Angora and Cashmere to varying degrees). They are very simple to use and need no fixative (although those of you who may wish to use vinegar as an extra measure may do so).

Easidye is ok for wet colour fastness and are classed as 'full exhaust', milling dyes... which basically means that once dry, these all-in-one dye colours should be fast to a milling standard, making them a great choice for most home crafters.

All-in-one dyes do tend to be a slightly paler in outcome to traditional Reactive Acid dyes, but you can still get a wonderful array of colour pastels to brights for your work.

In this pack you will be getting;

• 6 x 10g of Easidye... Colours; Lemon, Red, Heather, Mid Blue, Lime and Charcoal.
• Instructions for use in a microwave Space Dye method (great for beginners), although you can easily create a Dip Dye effect using dye solution at a boiling temperature and a larger metal dye container over your hob.

Just to give you an idea of how far this taster pack will go, here is a conversion chart...

(I have worked out that a flat ½ 5ml spoon measure holds approximately 2g of dye.)

A Note of Caution: This activity is for adults or older children (age 12 and up) only with strict adult guidance and supervision due to the nature of the dyes.  Do not allow your child to attempt this project alone!

Please note that in minimal amounts these dyes are not harmful, however please avoid contact with eyes and skin (as may in extreme cases cause mild irritation, so please wear gloves) and do not ingest.

These dyes are safe to dispose of in home drainage.

Top Tip: Always remember the strength and shade of your chosen colour will depend heavily on your wool's base shade. So for example if you want the brighter and clearest option of your colour, please select a brillant white roving/yarn. Cream shades will give good results but will always appear slightly more dusky by comparison.
