I appreciate the answers and I dyed a couple of saddle feathers in a test batch already and must say I am quite happy with the result thusfar.

However, I am curious and maybe someone can answer the following question:

Is it possible to work with Rit Dye and the Veniard Dyes while dying small lots of material in the same fashion?

I am only talking about dying very small amounts of material such as a WHITING 100 Packs.

I would also like to possibly dye very, very small patches of hair, maybe 1 inches or two inches square.
