These Alter Ego Dyes, which are also sold individually in lots more colors, are tailored specifically for dyeing patterned Silk/Rayon blends, like Devore Satin or Cut Rayon Silk Velvet where the backing is silk and the pattern overlay is rayon satin or rayon velvet pile. Alter Ego dyes provide colors for the silk fibers, and colors for the rayon fibers. You choose one of each, and pour them both into the dye bath with your fabric or scarf, vinegar, salt and fixative, and shazam! beautifully dyed in the 2 colors you chose.

The silk dye only dyes the silk fibers, and the rayon dye only dyes the rayon fibers. Check out the pics above to see examples. Absolutely fabulous results, and so easy to use even a blind-folded crazy man in a straight jacket could do it! Just throw everything into a pot on the stove, simmer and stir for about 30 minutes and booyah! If you like cut silk/rayon velvet or devore satin goods, in any form, you have to try these dyes! The results are fantastic, and they are so easy to use you will love them.

    I'm just finishing up my first three devore scarves using this kit. The instructions are well written and easy to follow, but the colors that are needed for the recommended combinations are not all included in the kit. I would have to buy those separately to achieve their suggestions. So I had to experiment, which I didnt really want to do seeing as how expensive the kit is. Also the droppers for measuring dyes were very difficult to read so I wasnt too sure how much of the dyes I had added to the pot. But having said that the colors that I tried were vivid and satisfying. The only one I didnt like was a silk blue/red combo for purple with a yellow for the viscose. The purple deffinatly muddied the yellow. What would make this a great kit is if there were combinations of colors and amount of dyes used for each combo that used the colors in the kit. There was a deffinate chemical ordor in the room so i would strongly advise good ventilation.

    Easy to use while at the same time a bit of a challenge working out colour mixes... that's good , part of the fun but I was disapointed in the range of colours in the kit... ie no silk dye blue. Also really wish you stocked all their shades in smaller sizes.$18 for large bottle pricey and far more than I need.Could you look into that ?

    These are amazingly easy and fun dyes to work with!! I could not believe what happened to the silk and rayon scarves wheen they came out of the pot. I only wish two things....that these were a little cheaper and and that more color combinations would become available.

    These work really well! I was surprised at how clear the colors separated with the different fibers- better than the pictures. My only complaint is the jars were pretty small and the kit was not enough to do much. Also the instructions (not how to do it, but how much to use) were confusing.
