- Dyeing your yarn or fibre or fabric is easy with Ashford Wool Dyes.
Our wool dyes are non-toxic, acid exhaust, protein fibre dyes.
The only mordant (fixing agent) you need is white vinegar.
10gms of dye stuff (powder) will dye 1kg of fibre or yarn at full concentrate.

Safety info: Ashford dyes, if used correctly, are non-hazardous to humans. They are weak acid dyes that are fixed with only common white vinegar and heat. Fibre, yarn and textiles dyed with the Ashford dyes can be worn against the skin without risk. We are in close co-operation with all our suppliers of dyes to ensure they are safe to use and wear. The dyes comply with the strict EU regulations and the manufacturers confirm that cloth dyed with the Ashford dyes can be certified under the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. This standard is the most widely known standard for certification of ecologically-safe clothing. Detailed information can be found under www.oekotex.com. The dyes pose no risk the environment if the dye liquid is neutralised with baking soda before disposal in the waste water system. Full instructions for the safe use and disposal of the dyes are included with the dyes.
I am a total newbie to all this and loving it! I got an Ashford spinning wheel, and an now experimenting with a fleece I was given, it's white so it will dye great I hope! Thanks for brilliant tutorials on here,
Hi Kate - Loved the Video, and my Ashford equipment!! With regard to heat processing, you advised "You can steam it, simmer it, bake it in a crock pot - there are lots of
alternatives. You just need to heat so the dye will exhaust onto/into
the fibre." Can you please provide additional information on time required for crock pot (presume on high), and for simmering (in water with vinegar?). Many thanks!
I would set it on medium and use enough dye liquid to cover yarn. Heat until all dye colour is exhausted. The same for doing in a pot on the stove - use enough liquid to cover yarn or fibre and simmer gentle, not boiling until liquid runs clear. Also I recommend using your dyeing equipment just for dyeing.
Hi Kate, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Until now I had no idea Ashford had these type of dyes and I certainly will be trying them. BTW, I also enjoy your other videos relative to weaving. I actually enjoy your accent :)
Thank you :-)
How long time I can keep my dye concentrate before used up?
Great video! Thanks Kate!
One question, though...
You said to do two minute turns in the Microwave, but you didn't say what you were looking for to know when it's ready to come out.
Are we looking for that condensate on the glad wrap?
Could you please let us know what the 'stop' detail is?
Thanks heaps!!!
Wonderful video. I have a group project coming up and we have to dye a couple of metres of not so cheap diamond twill. Would you make any changes to the dying process? Especially during the heating/fixture stage? I’m a little nervous as I’m leading the way on this and don’t want to muck up as we’ve only got one chance. Thank you for any help you can offer.
Great tutorial.Thanx a million. What’s another option if I don’t want to use microwave. I am a cancer patient and against microves.🤔
hi awesome video I've always wanted to know how this happens. just a question if I wanted to dye flax would it work the same way as will
Can i mix a small amount of the dye powder to create a light paste to rub on a heavy cotton tshirt then sponge it on randomly over the top , place in a white vinegar/ water solution and will that be able to produce that "cold dye/ object dye" avantgarde fashion look? Which dye do you recommend for this to get the best finish ? Thanks.
Kate~once you mix the individual dyes, will they last indefinitely or do they have a "shelf life" and lose their color or strength over time? Thanks! (Great video, btw!)
Hi, I make up the dyes in plastic 1 litre bottles without the vinegar (so 10gm dye, 850ml water) and then use as needed adding vinegar at the point when I am going to use them. I am not sure of the official shelf life but I have done this and used colours that had been made up (without vinegar) for at least 12 months. I found they last a lot longer without the vinegar mixed in...just don't forget your vinegar when you use them :-)
Love the video! Did you say soak the yarn in water with a drop dishwashing soap? !
I love your hair
One of the best videos on dyeing I've seen especially about mixing the colours. Thanks! Are the Ashford dyes available in the UK?
Hi, Thank you. Yes Ashford Dyes are available from your local Ashford dealer in the UK. You can locate your local dealer here www.ashforduk.co.uk/ashford-dealer-list/
Thank you)))very useful
Can i get the ashford dyes in the United States?
Can I store the dye in glass jars or bottles?
Can I store the dye in glass bottles?
how can you make white sheep wool really white?
What does the vinegar do in the dye process
What do I do if I don't have a microwave?
Boil in hot water
Crock pot from GoodWill will do it!
Are these chemical colours pigments?
Love the video! You guys might want to write actual captions for this one, though, because TH-cam's auto-complete created a rather rude word at 0:53 , which, while funny, doesn't look very professional for a company. Very helpful content, though! :)
Golly, even that aside, the wording is way off - it doesn't cope with a New Zealand accent well at all! (eg mordant was interpreted as 'border' and 'water')
Could I redye a jumper that is 80% wool and 20% nylon with this dye?
You could but the nylon would not dye as it is not a protein fibre.
Why not citric acid?
you dont soak it with the vinegar? Your videos are very informative and I am beginning to like your accent :p
what if we dont use microwave? alternative? thanks!
Hi, No I don't soak in vinegar, the vinegar is added in with the colour. Glad you find videos informative and sorry about the accent :-)
Hi, You can steam it, simmer it, bake it in a crock pot - there are lots of alternatives. You just need to heat so the dye will exhaust onto/into the fibre.

"And today I would like to show you how easy it is to die". Like, boom. 😂😂😂😂 Stupid maybe, but that's all i heard.😂😂😂😂
I replayed it so many times! I am literally dead laughing 😂
I love that you use primaries. I would love to see you dye without using single-use products like plastic and surgical gloves.
That's nothing compared to the restaurant industry.
You can reuse plastic bottles! I have many plastic products I have reused over and over again! :)
