CRADLE IT IN YOUR HANDS LIKE A TINY BIRD.

I will giggle every time I dye roving from now on. I needed the tip, I definitely felted my first attempt. Thanks for the great video. :]

umm I was looking for a way to dye feathers for flytying and ran across yours. thanks, I think you helped me

[Halalsilks]

Hi and I hope so! You can use any steam dye method for feathers which are protein. Look for silk dyes too, they are great for feathers. I think Jacquard acid dyes may work.

Send pics of your feathers!

Kool aid is toxic, but only if you drink it! :-) Thanks for the tutorial!

Peace

Yes, we don't drink it here, but the dyes are so much fun. It has citric acid which is what makes it set, but you really need the vinegar to make it set better with the heat.

@carlitaelhada You are totally right. I got a shock when I learned you can dye with it because of the citric acid in it. You are SO RIGHT! LOL!!!
