Have you ever been unable to find exactly the colour you were looking for for a needlework or crochet project? Or maybe you just need a little yarn of a certain colour for some trims and don't want to buy the whole skein?
To overcome these problems, you can opt to dye the yarn in question yourself. It is a simpler operation than you think and gives you the possibility to completely personalise your work.
Aybel dyes allow you to dye any natural yarn, hence wool, cotton, but also hemp or linen. In addition, you can create special shades by mixing several colours together, or even opt for a blended effect with different colours.
The procedure by hand is the same as one would use for a fabric and can be found here, however to ensure that the phialto is well immersed in the dye, it can be placed in a plastic bag along with the dye bath.
Once dyed, the colour bath can be stored in an airtight container (preferably glass) so that it can be reused several times if necessary.
