dyes for burlap and jute

Arch · April 21st, 2006, 14:55

Does any one know where to find dyes that will be more permanent than food coloring. i'm finishing up my guillie suit this summer at the camp I work at and I hope to add some darker olive green and a bit of dark brown to my suit. but for the life of me I can't find single dye sorces without having to buy a kit with pinks and purples for more money. I'd prefer to stay off line and go to stores. but all I have near is a wal mart and a CT

anyone have any spots they get theres from. or better home made dye recipies.

Walmart has RIT dyes, think i found them in the cleaners and chemical section of all places... if you can't find them ask a blue vest....

on another note CT stocks olive jute three strand twine. it's a lot of unravaling. but it works

Get full sheets or burlap and the green twine, use them both. Dont' bother unravelling everything, it's a waste of time and won't work as well inthe end.

Dye, Rit Dye Kelley Green and Earth Brown. Michael's Craft store (can also buy the decorative fishing net, 5'x7', $14, use that to glue onto your BDUs, it's natrual colour, super strong, and has 1" spacing.) Before you dye the burlap (cut it in roughly 20" x 20" squares), soak the hell outta it, or else the dye won't work. Then use hot water in a big bucket, dump the dye (don't bother using the instructions) and stir, then put in the square of burlap, stir around for a while, then pull out and rinse in clean water, then hang to dry.
