Go to the search option and use the title of your thread and you will find that there are as many opinions on that as we have members. I hate to give a flip sounding answer like that, but it has been discussed at length several times over the last few months. I have not tried dying any of materials as yet. I find the subject interesting but fear certain death if I make a mess and the wife finds out.

I would say that it depends on what you are trying to do. Rit would be more vivid, I would think, but Kool Aid would give the materials a nice fruity taste. Then I have to wonder if we can dye feathers and hair with Kool Aid, why don't we have blue kids? Is that how we got Smurfs?

OK. I'll shut up now. Well, not really but for a few minutes anyway. Maybe.
