of chemical water. $45.
Single colors: $5.50, True red, Bright blue, Brilliant Yellow, Brown,
Deep black, Bright green, Scarlet, Turquoise. (inquire for shipping
cost.) These dyes take only 20 minutes to steam set to vibrant chemically
bonded colors on silk and other natural fibers. They may also be set
by heating in a clothes dryer. Because they are concentrated, you get
6oz. of full strength color from each 2 oz bottle when combined with
the chemical water. Compared to DuPont, Sennlier and other dyes sold
in full strength, they are a very good value and much easier to heat
set.
