    How Do I Dye Pre-Felt with Cushing Perfection Dyes??

    OK, so I ordered some White MERINO WOOL Prefelt (here is the listing http://www.etsy.com/transaction/65951290)and I want to cut it up into 10x10 inch squares and dye them all different colors using cushing perfection dyes. The problem is I have no idea how to do this. I have never dyed anything before and can't find many videos on-line about dying pre-felts. So I turn to you for help. I have access to 1/3oz packets of the cushings dye. How much of the dye to water tovinager ratio would I need in order to dye a 10x10 square inch of pre felt. I want to do several different colors. I am so lost please help!

    Many Thanks in advance!

    Its a little tricky to dye prefelt because its a bit "fragile" I dye it a bit more like yarn, rolling it up and tying it to hold it together. good luck!

    you can dye it in a shalow pan so you can lay it out flat in the dye. Rolling it may cause it to self resist. Espesialy where the ties are.
