Krysia,

I believe human hair products will dye wool. Wool is very close to
human
hair in composition. I would not be afraid to try it. The same for
the
llama hair. I do not know what it will do to the acrylic.

Let me know what you find.

God bless,
Dennis

what a cool idea! thanks, I'll pass it on

Hi Krysia)

Nice to see you here too!

Hi! hehehe, I do get around a bit ))I started off with the
quilting ng, then discovered the Polish cooking newsgroup, then
was at the birth of the Polish needlecraft ng, started reading
house building/house improvements group (Polish), books group
(Polish, to see what new books are published there), the uk craft
ng, which is rather boring and non existent, then the Pol-Eng
translating group and the UK food+dringk...don't ask to how many
yahoo mailing lists/groups I belong to!!! obviously too much time
on my hands, or rahter time taken away from crafting ... but
quilting, knitting, sock knitting ones are there in a prominent
place are you a groupie? sorry )- a ng junkie too?

Moi!!!! How could you think such a thing... I only have ummmm errrrrr 6!

Hi Kyrsia,

I'm addicted to this group, have to get to the computer some time during the
day to see what's new and say hello at least once. I do read a couple of other
ng's but not like this one. This one is family.

Hugs,

Nora

any help/hint is welcome!
in my searches I kept on coming up with industrial sites on
dyeing and one dyes site - omega dyes (BTW the colours ARE
breathtaking, but they don't do black for wool!).

Jacquard makes an acid dye in black. I haven't tried it yet, though.
Problem is, that it won't take on acrylic, only protein fibers and nylon.

Well, maybe she could dye it twice. Once with something that will
dye the wool, and once with something that will dye the acrylic.

Trouble is, I don't know of anything that will dye acrylic.

Well, something must work. They make colored acrylic yarn.
How about plain old oil-base paint? That always used to be permanent
when it got on whatever you didn't want it on. Black India Ink?
Screen printing black ink?

The color is often added to the solution before extruding the fiber for
acrylic. I've also heard there are some noxious professional dyes that work
but are not available to home dyers. Paints might work, but would stiffen
the stuff.

p.s. my friend says she is worried about the hair dye method as
her hair dye washes out of HER hair very quickly
