DYES: Cushing "Perfection" Acid Dyes
Cushing "Perfection" Acid Dyes are designed for
use on protein-based fibers: wool, mohair and other animal fibers,
and nylon. They work on some silks, but the Lanaset or Jacquard
Acid dyes are a surer bet. The term “acid” refers to
the pH of the dye bath. They are simple to use, and inexpensive,
especially if you only need to dye a small amount of fiber. Like
other acid dyes, they need to work in an acid environment (a small
amount of ordinary white vinegar in the dye-bath works fine), and
need to be set on the fiber by heat, generally provided by a hot
dye-bath. There are 94 pre-mixed colors. A pack will dye 1 LB of
fiber to a medium shade.Ask for basic instructions, free with
order. Or on this
web-site.
