Dyed chenilles and Feathers

[JUNGLEJIM1]

Last week I broke out the dyes and tried to dye some craft fur. FAILED!! It wouldn't hold the dye and rinsed out. Not wanting to waste the dye I broke out some white chenilles and marabou, this is some of what I dyed.

I used Perfection dyes, koolaid and food coloring. Here are a few pictures taken with a black light. View attachment 3View attachment 4View attachment 5View attachment 6

I'm always open for some trading. Some opossum, lighter colored patches of coyote or any soft natural fur would be nice. Ronnie, really like the lighter shade of pink with that s&p. Looks great under the black light. Only did a couple yards since I was experimenting. Didn't take pictures of everything, ended up with two gallon sized bags full including a turquoise ice chenille.

Dang. Awesome work. 2 nd pic caught my attention too but it was the pink black !!!



I've been sitting on a skein of white I never tie with. Think I need to send it up to you for some doctoring

Great post & results. Did you try the fluorescent food coloring dye?

Probably any white chenille would work but I'd start with smaller quantity to be sure. Wife bought some gel food colors Sonny, didn't have the Neon food colors where she shops but the Teal and Magenta colors I used had some fluorescence. Rad, I'd do some colors for you if you want to send the white. I like experimenting and blending colors. It helps killing time when I get tyer's block.
