While I am all for using any technique that will produce the finish you are looking for - a word of caution when colouring threads. How long do you wish the item to last? If it is short term, a few years, then go ahead with the pens. However, if you wish it to be an heirloom the chemicals in the ink may rot the thread. Even properly used fabric dyes can affect threads. The old black dye rotted the threads so that little black lace remains and I once had a striped tea towel and after a few years all the blue threads disintegrated leaving the white strips. However, good luck, I hope it turns out well.
