CMYK Dye Kit for Animal Fibres – Ashford
CMYK acid dye kit for wool, silk, and other animal fibres, designed to create a wide range of colours using four fully compatible base shades.
Detailed description
The Ashford CMYK Dye Kit contains acid dyes specially formulated for animal fibres such as wool, silk, and other protein fibres. Manufactured in Europe by Bayer, these dyes are suitable for both passionate hobbyists and professional dyers.
The four colours included in this kit have been carefully selected for their compatibility. When mixed, they allow the creation of a broad and nuanced colour palette based on the CMYK principle. The dyes are safe, easy to use, and compliant with Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
Colour fixation requires white vinegar as a mordant and heat (microwave, stovetop, or steam). Ashford provides a range of tutorials and learning resources to guide users through various dyeing techniques.
