I have never dyed, but I would like to deal with the topic. How do I get the information I need?"Dying wool or yarn is not difficult in itself, but in addition to the necessary time, it also requires a suitable place to dye. You can get a lot of information via You Tube but also in the various groups on Facebook (we dye our wool ourselves). Here you can ask questions and get help. From time to time live coloring takes place on our Instagram profile. Otherwise you will find basic information under the menu item INFO.
-
Is there a coloring guide?You can find basic instructions for dyeing animal and vegetable fibers under the menu item INFO. However, we cannot convey special techniques at this point. Here Youtube is a good source to look up one or the other. At this point it should also be said that every dyer keeps his secrets secret like a herbal witch. :-)
-
Why is there an * after the name of some reactive colors?This should help you with the dosage of the colors. As a rule, the reactive colors are dosed with approx. 2 g per material to be colored. Is behind * - it is 4 g and with ** it is 8 g. Just easy :-)
-
I have seen a coloring and would like to color it again. How can you help me?Unfortunately not at all. Not because we can't, but because we don't want to. Yarn dyeing is a creative act. Like a painting being painted, a song being written... Break free, get inspiration but dye your yarn. So it really becomes something very special that you really enjoy.
-
A product is out, when will it come again?"As a rule, our supply chains are coordinated in such a way that there is always enough of each item available. However, bottlenecks may occur due to increased demand. As a rule, the products are available again within a week.

The color powder looks different than the same color from a previous delivery!It can happen. This is not due to us, but to the manufacturers of the paint, who also have to change the recipe from time to time. We recommend trial dyeing before each dyeing.

If you only notice damage when you open the package, please inform us, stating the order number and please attach two or three meaningful pictures to the email. We will find a quick solution in this case.
-
Are there instructions on how to color with the colors?Yes, there are basic instructions and a dosing aid under the menu item INFO.
-
What is the difference between reactive and acid paints?The distinction is always made according to the goods to be colored. Animal fibers are always dyed with acid and heat. Reactive as well as acid colors are suitable. Plant fibers always require a basic environment and time to fix. Only reactive colors are suitable here.
-
My coloring result does not match the desired hue. Where are sources of error?The following questions should be asked: Did I choose the right color for the right material? Did I choose heat and an acidic environment for animal fibers or an alkaline environment for plant fibers? Have I followed the dosing instructions? A lot doesn't help much, as some pigments are more soluble in water than others. However, if the dyeing water is saturated, it cannot absorb any further pigments, which would be important for the development of the dyeing. These usually sink to the ground and are then missing. Therefore, always start with a little color.
-
I have an animal fiber with a vegetable component. How should I color?Always decide based on the fiber with the largest share in the yarn. Merino 60% Nylon 40%. Coloring with acid!
-
The colored powder looks completely different than the color I want to color. Did an error happen?Don't panic. Often the powder will look different than the color you want it to come out. We recommend a test dyeing before each dyeing. Please be sure to follow the dosing instructions here.
