This is my first attempt at dyeing this crystal chenille. Ive done feathers before but not this. I wasn't able to get as bright of colors as I wanted to but I will keep at it! In the pic the one that June is trying to grab is the one I dyed. The right is chartreuse that I bought a while back. On the fair left you can barely see a piece of the pearl that Im dying.

The little piece in the middle was something I tried a small piece as an experiment. That dude is bright! I just need to work out some issues with it before I do up a bunch!

Looks good! I've done a little of this and I see you are a smart man. I didn't wear plastic gloves,they called me ET for a week and everytime I picked up my phone I would call home. ?.
what kind of dye are you using?

Adam its all crystal. I did a motor oil color that turned out pretty cool. I Let it soak for 2 days!

Heck naw I didn't get close to the washer! I did find out that the dye works much faster on your clothes when it splatters on them!

Pepop that will be $120 retail!

So, that's $60 per skein, right? I bet I know a couple other "Chenille
Ho's" that'd throw in with me! I know, but I'm seeing a Dr.!
