Dyeing Partially felted wool prefelt then Felting, Fulling and Finishing. How Will it Turn Out?

[@dougsteets9984]

At first I thought “oh no”………then ended up thinking “oh YES”. Thanks for the inspiration :).

The aim is to put the idea out there and inspire! Maybe someone who loves dyeing will run with it. I can imagine there are amazing things you could do using the technique!

It was fun to do! But I kinda covered it up so will have to make another one ☝️

where can i buy acid paints

[@muffsmerino]

It’s always nice if you can get the dyes locally, but it’s not always the case. I’m in New Zealand but still order the dyes from Dharma Trading www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/dharma-acid-dyes.html The shipping costs are high but the dyes go a very long way so it’s worth it.

How long and how hot to set the dye?

[@muffsmerino]

200 f or 95 C for the heat. You can also heat it in the oven. On the stove I heat it just so it starts to steam only a little, no bubbles. The dye sets when it is no longer running out of the fibre, or, the fibre has taken up all the dye... It can take 5 min for light colours and up to an hour for darks. Let me know if you have any other questions. Dyeing was a huge learning curve for me.
