Dye-Lishus® Instructions

Simply wash the yarn or fabric in hot soapy water. For a really quick wetting out, make a solution of 1 part alcohol to 2 parts water. Ethyl alcohol from the pharmacy or Everclear are preferred. Submerge the fiber, it only takes seconds, then rinse well.

Add dye to warm tap water and enter the wet fiber. You can also use cold water if you allow it to soak a few hours.

You need much less dye than usual; if you are using natural dyes, you can use the amount called for in a wool recipe.

For sliver, use 1/2 or less dye than the dye package instructions suggest.

For yarn, use 1/4 or less dye.

Stir and soak for 15 minutes in hot water, or soak longer in cold water.

Rinse, dry, done!
