 George Weil offers a vast resource for dyers.
The range of products include dyes, mordants and chemicals for all
fibres and dyeing techniques, including Batik and Discharge Dyeing.
The dyes can be used to dye yarns, fibres and fabrics, and used in
conjunction with other decorative techniques such as devore.
To learn more about the craft of dyeing, you will find information about Acid Dyes which
have been formulated for use with protein fibres such as
silk and wool, fibre reactive Procion MX dyes which are best for cellulose fibres
such as cotton, viscose and linen, plus Disperse Dyes for synthetic
fibres such as polyester and nylon. There is also information about
natural dyes which are derived from plants, and include the most well
known dye of all time - indigo...
