How To Dye Sheepskin Rugs for Cosplays & Furniture

[@Lady_Le_Fae]

Great video! Thank you for creating this. Another thing to help with the stiffness after the pelt gets wet - you can “break the hide” over the back of a chair, combined with the oil, to help the fibers relax again and make the hide soft and supple

[@InnominateKraken]

Thank you so much for the suggestion. We'll have to try this!

[@earthflow_er2547]

Does the bottom skin really soften up after that?? Because mine is so dry 😢

[@InnominateKraken]

Yeah, ours are still pretty soft! I'm sorry yours is dry 😭

[@patriciahunt2106]

Thank you so much now I know

[@InnominateKraken]

No problem!

Fabulous tutorial.... Can this be used on a MINK JACKET?

[@InnominateKraken]

Sorry I've been trying to look for this answer for awhile now. But I just got a reply from Rit Dye's customer service and they said, "You should be able to dye your mink fabric using our Rit Dyemore for synthetics, following the stovetop method." And here's the link to the instructions they gave: bit.ly/3Le4C3Q Good luck!

Great vid. Im making a saddle for my bike, will this run in to my jeans if it gets wet?

[@InnominateKraken]

It all depends on how the dye job goes and if you use the fixative. You'l have to see how much it bleeds when you do an initial wash.

How did you Shear the rug?

[@brianthomason5022]

After dying it before rinsing out let dry.dissolve silicone in naptha. And then suck it in that afterwards and then not only will the colors not bleed out when rents but it will also be waterproof. Lol.

Thank you for the tip!

Great video. Is the fur that you used faux fur is the fur genuine as one would say?

[@InnominateKraken]

Hmmm I think it's genuine. Sorry the link in the description led to a product that's no longer in stock. This is similar to what we used: bit.ly/3No1oZk

[@thecowardlyrussian5424]

@@InnominateKraken One more question, would I have to modify the steps of dying my sheepskin if there was some suede attached or would the steps in the video work just fine? Thank you

Can you guide me for sheep skin black colour which chemical using

[@tessarae9127]

I know- in the video it doesn’t look real… even though logically it would seem that the dye wouldn’t take if it was polyester. But the texture seems off and for that I’m hesitant. However it does seem to resist being pushed down and kind of “floats” above the water (real wool is hydrophobic). I was thinking of using rit dyemore on the genuine sheepskin I have… I want a dark dark dark color 🥲

[@malstenson3981]

Is the sheepskin any stiffer after this process

[@InnominateKraken]

Ours didn't stiffen.
