You ha...Hi Kelly :) I havent tried Jacquard dyes. You have been getting beautiful results from them!<br /><br />Ive use Jacquard Dynaflow silk & textile paints (used them to paint my Earthmother doll, pic on Folksy) I find them REALLY good! You fix either with a hot iron, or with a heatgun/hairdrier. I used them to paint the silk ribbon on the tiny frames challenge too.<br /><br />I have used & really like the Landscape Dyes (you dont need to add anything to these), but I needed so many colours, most of which were only available in the big pots, it was going to work out a lot dearer than buying a complete set of Ashford... so I decided to give 'em a go. <br /><br />With the Ashford dyes, its 1g of dye + 1 tablespoon vinegar to 100g dry weight fibre. Once heated to boiling you simmer for 30 minutes, they fix well too, nothing running out when I rinse. You have to put a teaspoon of baking soda into the dyepot before throwing it away to neutralise any remaining acid.. I've never had to do that before. The dyes penetrate the wool tops very well. <br /><br />What do you use for a dyepot? I'm wondering whether to get a Burco Boiler so I can do it out in the garage (dont like the fumes in the house) <br /><br />xFeltersJourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144951816128798093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733144082304387946.post-72878059980582584592011-06-16T18:47:37.731+01:002011-06-16T18:47:37.731+01:00What a happy and colorful post!!!

I am running through my Jacquard and will need to order more dyes soon. This might be the time to try something new. :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838101904580757579noreply@blogger.com
