Dying sheepskin: photos added

<< < (2/2)

JoJoDapyro:
Any info would be great. Anyone...?

Jodocus:
How hot was the water? Skin must not really get hot, or it will degrade and shrink. Maybe your instructions were for tanned fürs?

JoJoDapyro:
Maybe I am not up on all the lingo, but it was a tanned hide. I think I figured that the lanolin closer to the skin prevented the dye from setting. The shrinkage is the only issue. And why one shrunk and one did not shrink nearly as much.

RidgeRunner:
Some time back I tryed to dye some Rawhide Brown with Ret dye....
I also came out Purple??????

I just left it Purple.

JoJoDapyro:
I left mine purple as well. It is dark, kinda looks cool, and no one I know has a purple quiver... Except Tyke.
