Landscapes Dyeing Procedure
A 100 gram jar of Landscapes Dyes will dye 2-1/4 pounds of wool to the hue on the color chart. It’s easy!
Weigh fiber. Figure the amount of dye powder needed. For a deep color use 1 rounded teaspoon for 4 ounces of fiber. (Angora rabbit and silk* take about twice the amount of dye used for wool to achieve the same color.) Place dye into a small container and add boiling water to dissolve. Use a stainless or enamel container with enough water to liberally cover fiber. Add the dye solution and stir to mix. Put clean, wetted fiber into the dye pot and slowly bring dye pot to a simmer, rotating fiber frequently. Hold at simmer for 10 - 20 minutes. Let fiber cool in dye solution, rinse in cool water until water is clear. Air dry.
*Silk requires more acid in dyeing. Add vinegar to dyepot (1 T / 4 oz) or after wetting silk, soak in a vinegar solution (1 cup / gallon of water) for 5 - 10 minutes.  
Be safe: Always wear a dust mask when measuring dye powder. Use rubber gloves to protect your hands from dye color and the hot dye solution. Containers and utensils should never be used for food once used for dyeing.
Color Mixing
Landscapes Dyes are made with a spectrum format, are uniform in strength, and are homogeneous. You can blend dyes to make your own colors without the risk of “muddiness” from hidden colors. The primary colors are Wattle (yellow), Desert Pea (red) and Marine Blue (blue).
