Hi all, I bought this beutiful linen wool blend fabric (pale pink) with the
intention of dyeing it a darker color. I use procion dyes on linen with great
success, but am a little leery of using it on wool. I wrote dharma, who
usually has great suggestions, but this time the customer rep wasn't
encouraging:
>hello, thank your for contacting dharma trading co.,
>procion w/ soda ash can roughen wool, but is still the best dye for
linen. I would recommend >that rather than idye for natural fibers,
since idye can fade with every wash. there is always >the danger of
damaging a garment by dyeing it. I would only proceed if I was willing
to risk >ruining the garment.
As I pasted this response, I realize I was reading it as - "Don't try either
method unless you are willing to risk ruining the garment" but maybe what he
meant was: "use the procion, it is safe (though it may do funny things in the
wool) but don't use idye products."
What would you guys do???
