Hi Rene,
I used Rit dye for this. For Rit dye on plant fiber (such as cotton and linen) they recommend salt. I did add just a small ammount of vinegar to make sure the color set. It came out very well.
Cheers, Tim

Subject: [VFB] Dying raffia
During the I/FoFF poll Tim mentioned, that he was dying raffia.
What dye do you use? Cool Aid, easter egg dye or the professional stuff like rite.
I have a bunch of raffia, and I consider to give it a try. Did you use vinegar?
Lots of questions Rene
