Hi all
I have been experimenting with dying mohair. I use Earth Pallette dyes. They are so easy. I dyed this piece of mohair which was a tanny creamy colour and dyed it with pink. It turned out as a pinky watermelon colour. I love it. With yellowy background. I am in the process of making some traditional bears which even when I first start never done. So they will be interesting. But I can't wait to see this piece made up. I Am Bored with the colour you get these day and thought I would buy a bulk of mohair in loom state and hand dye them all. I will be offering some at the South Australia Bear show in August, But I will put them on my site as well. I will price them very reasonable. So if you too are bored with the traditional colours keep a eye out on my site.
I'm with you. I dye most of my mohair. I really enjoy playing around with all of the colors. I also like having a color that's just a bit different from the rest.
Thatsd a lovely shade of pink, yumm.....good for you, it is fun. I use kool ade and have fun with the pastel shades that I get.
Will be fun to see what you do next!

Oh Nooooo!!!!
You will have the dying bug like me now
What a wonderful pink you got with your dye. :dance: :dance: :dance:
What a lovely color! I, too, hand dye a lot of my mohair. Much easier to get one large piece of white mohair, and change the colors than to get all small pieces of different colors.
Great job!

I love mixing the koolaid colors and watching what it turns into!
