Came across this 'lace dye'. It isn't specifically intended for lace, as the
label on the bottle states 'craft dye'.
Has anyone tried doing this. The effects show in the photographs are
interesting, but does the dye bleed or can it be made to stay within
specific threads. I made a piece recently where I wanted blocks of colour,
which was fine if I only used whole stitch for the blocks - I could add and
remove a pair of coloured workers as needed. But I really wanted some
diagonal 'stripes' of rose ground and another of spiders, where adding and
subtracting extra threads wouldn't work. I had thought of fabric dye, but
didn't try it as I was convinced that it would bleed into areas where I
didn't want it.
