I've checked though the threads here for the past couple of months trying to find some info, but I just don't have the time (plus I don't have the patience) to search through every page of posts so I'll just start another one here.

I've been thinking about starting to dye my own materials for quite some time. I know that most of you will say check out A.K. Best's book, but some of us just don't have the money for books and everything else.

I recently found this here: http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytyin ... index.html

Anyone know where one might find a retailer who sells Veniards here in the states?

Also, I read a while ago that some guys were using easter egg dye for this. Might I ask, how well does that really work? Are you using only vinegar for the bath or do you use a water/vinegar mixture? How long do you usually let the materials (I know it depends on the materials and shades) soak?

Thanks for commenting and some day I do hope to get my own copy of A.K Best's book,
