Thank you and they did work! I wasn't sure how deep the color would be but it is vibrant. I'm going to try doing more with the egg dye tablets and other types of food coloring in the future.
@@the-needle-felter im a frogs/reptiles lover, so it would be awesome, I’ve done your fennec fox, now I will do the panther chameleon, and maybe next time a frog 🐸
@@jungle__bites806 I'm so happy that you made the fennec fox. I hope you have fun making a chameleon. I would like to make another panther chameleon in the future with realistic coloring and more detailed feet. Their feet are so interesting!

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm so happy that you have made animals from my videos! It truly inspires me to make more animals to share with you. Thank you again for the comment and for inspiring me!
Thank you! It doesn't smell like vinegar at all. I washed it in the Unicorn Power Scour so it smells really fresh and clean. Rebecca from Chemknits usually washes the wool with clear dishwashing liquid. I think any soap that's safe for wool would work. I just had the Power Scour on hand because I needed it for a lamb fleece and some raw wool I bought a while back.

That came out great❤️
Such an interesting video, the dyes worked so well xx
Thank you and they did work! I wasn't sure how deep the color would be but it is vibrant. I'm going to try doing more with the egg dye tablets and other types of food coloring in the future.
very cool ! with these dye colours you could make a red eyed tree frog as next project 🐸
That's a great idea! I will add that to my list. I made the Sarafina Fiber Art frog a while back. It's just a generic frog but it was a lot of fun.
