Howdy,

I sometimes dye materials for colors I don't have. Rather than order those materials that I already have or can get in white, the white lends itself best for me to dye any color I want. I know of four dying methods that most folks use. Rit Dye (the one I use mostly). Food coloring dye. Easter egg dye kit (tablets). Kool Aid (small package).

I use Rit Dye (preferably bottle but box at times) mostly because the other methods except food coloring (the little squirt bottles), are usually small amount or one time use types of dye unless I buy a lot of individual amounts (Kool Aid may come in larger size containers). This can be significant if I need to adjust a color's darkness or lightness when I first test the right amount for the color and therefore need more dye for each application. Are there other dye methods folks use that I missed? Thanks.
