Love your dying results. I have not dyed any feathers in 20+ years. Still have everything but a hair dryer.

Bruce,

Thanks. Haven’t found a replacement for the Koolaid Ice Blue Raspberry; tried a number of mixes with Rit but it’s never quite what I want. Since the Kooyis in good supply and relatively cheap, it’s not a big deal since I use the same procedure as when dyeing with Rit.

Regards,
Scott
