Mos Hand-Dyed Threads....

I usually buy WDW or GAST, but I grabbed a couple of Mos threads....for the price,,,,,excellent!
$1/skein vs $2.50.I used it for a couple of simple Lizzie*Kates which only called for 4 colors, so it was very easy to switch the colors.I dont know what base he uses, i.e. Sullivans, Anchor, DMC.

I am going to give hand-dying a try.Anyone else interested in this?I am doing to go with DMC/RIT

I dye my own wool to spin. I use Procion Mx dyes............... or food colours if Im solar dyeing. It is a very delicate process as wool cannot be agitated............ otherwise it felts.
Good Luck with your dyeing experiments - it can be full of surpises!

I never even heard about stitchers hand-dyeing their threads themselves, to be honest... though the idea is simple, I guess. Thank you for the tip :) Ill think about it, sounds interesting. And Ive already tried fabric-dyeing, so why not
