Hi all,

Has anyone here ever done this? I bought some 100% bamboo yarn in a lovely dark blue and plain white last year and I'd like to try to dye one of the white skeins to a variegated to work a pattern that calls for 3 different yarn colors.

If you could direct me to any good websites or directions, I'd really appreciate it!

I think that bamboo would need to be dyed with fiber reactive dyes, like other plant fibers. Info here:

I can tell you for sure that acid dyes don't work...I know that from experience :D

would tie-dye dye work? it is generaly used for cotton t-shirts, so i would *think* it would work. :shrug: youcould check a local craft store if you dont want to buy online.
