This is from an article in the Canadian Teddy Bear News that I printed "Drink mixes contain coloring which sets well on the natural and cotton backing of mohair when using a mordant such as vinegar or salt. The vinegar is used with materials that are protein based such as mohair or silk. Salt is used with cotton based materials, such as the cotton backing of mohair. Salt and vinegar fix the dye into the material and are required ingredient along with the drink mix package." It goes on to suggest 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup of vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt to a package of drink mix. So apparently if you just want to dye the fur -only add vinegar or only the backing add just salt. I used both and got some wonderful colors!
thanks Nancy. So if I use salt it will dye the backing YAY
Hi everyone
I'm hoping to dye some mohair using koolaid soon, but wanted to know will it dye the backing? I'm wanting to dye some white/cream/grey mohair a nice bright blue colour
