Dyeing sheepskin

Not certain if this is the right section for this - just can anyone suggest how I can dye a double sheepskin rug (ie too big for a sink) I would love to exist able to just stick it in the washing machine (Somebody is going to advise a bath but all that wet dyed stuff...). Information technology washed well in the machine simply information technology is a delightful shade of "tan" with night brown tips... Dark brown all over would be adept.

Merely realised that this isn't very clear - I am looking for the name of a dye stuff (like Dylon) or a natural culling.

If information technology done in the machine, it should dye in the machine. I utilize Dylon on wool all the time, (unremarkably fabric not rugs though) and it should work. Given that you won't be able to boil launder it, use the darkest dye yous tin can and expect a much lighter shade.

I phoned dylon to inquire if I could dye a sheepskin rug, and they said the salt would make the backing go crispy. Having said that, that was before I institute out y'all table salt the skins anyway to cure them, so I don't think they had a clue, really.

Is it worth getting something old and sheepskin to practise on (I'm, thinking charity store coats)

Oh - I know, my dogs love to play with their old sheepskin beds, and bits are always falling off - shall I transport y'all a bit to have a go with?!

If you work the skin over the back of a chair or something every bit it'south drying information technology shoud dry commonly. Y'all accept to 'work' the pare a bit when y'all wash it anyway to stop it drying hard then i tin't actually see the departure. I wondred about dying sheepskins as ours are organically tanned and seem to exist going yellow on us. I was just going to try information technology with acid dyes in a big tub.

Give thanks you all - looks similar one of us is going to hit on the all-time way. Thank you for the offer of a fleck of skin to practice with ww but equally this has been lying overlooked in a shed for years I retrieve I volition take a chance it anyway. It is at least 20 years onetime merely fine autonomously from the color. The dorsum has stayed soft simply it is still damp and I am leaving it to dry slowly. I will probably become the dylon and not boil way. Thats the bit I wasn't sure of then thanks Sally.

Good luck - let us know how yous get on. I chickend out of dying mine cos they were new, simply as white isn't a very applied colour in our business firm, I'll probably give information technology a go if information technology works.

Dye it whilst it is still clammy, you'd just have to rewet it anyhow!

any for wool dye works . a medium carpet takes loads of dye though .if you lot can put the woolside into the dye first , the leather gets less dye .attempt to get larger quantities of dye ,niggling pots only exercise tiny amounts of wool .

The Dylon washing motorcar dye is the biggest pack they practise, I think Kleins in London are currently the cheapest supplier- they are even cheaper on Ebay but check its them, in that location is someone else who says they are cheaper only they strong you on stamp!
