As for the acid wool dyes (sabraset/lanaset), there is a big difference between shades in price. As there probably should be. Some chemicals cost more than others and I am glad they charge less for the cheaper ones (yellow) instead of charging me a ton for all of them! Purple is expensive... color of kings you know. Since I don't know the steps of the dyes you use, I can't comment on extra steps. Deb Menz has a nice video about dyeing with acid wool dyes called Dyeing in the Kitchen. While I wouldn't do this in my kitchen, she does show you exactly how to do it. She also talks about this dye in her Color in Spinning book. The acid dyes are only dangerous if you inhale them (as any particulate in your lungs is).Rebecca Mezoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138972934775842473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-71232803753868616.post-30931584335959846922016-05-01T15:14:42.447-06:002016-05-01T15:14:42.447-06:00I love to spin, but I don't do a lot of dying....I love to spin, but I don't do a lot of dying. I find it expensive, and like you, I would like to use only one brand. I have a number of the Cushings acid dyes. I looked into this dye, and I seem to remember a huge variance in price between shades. I thought there were extra steps involved too. What makes this dye superior? How do you find an easy way to use it? I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to dye, except to wear protection and keep utensils separate. I never seem to get the exact shade I'm looking for.<br /> Janeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618898870483965942noreply@blogger.com
