I have some Superior Suede Lace from Tandy/Tejas (biege color) and want to dye it in a variety of colors. I did a sample using Fiebings oil dye (green) and let it dry 24 hours.

I cannot get it to stop rubbing off as I pull it through a cloth.

I've tried sealing it with neutral leather balm/atom wax, mink oil paste and Resolene. All seem to make it rub off more.

Anyone have tips, or answers on how to do this?

I really don't need a dozen spools of lace if I can dye it in the small amounts I need right now.

Thanks

Tom

I would think that the only way your going to get suede to dye without problems, is to use a "Fabric" dye like Rit. Once it's dyed, you may have to leave it for a few days for it to really set in.
