Dyeing White Tiger Thread

[judgebc]

I am thinking of buying some .6mm waxed Tiger thread, recommended by Nigel Armitage.

Rocky Mountain Leathers in Japan, sell it in 1000 yard/meter rolls.

If I buy White, is it possible to dye it other colors.

I do not need 1000 yards.

I am not sure if the wax will allow penetration of the dye.

Thanks.

Dye wont take on waxed thread. You can buy smaller amounts in various colors from http://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/all

The only spool of tiger that comes in 1000 meter spool is the 0.6mm. Are you sure that is the size that you want?

The heavier sizes come in 500 meter spools. If you are unfamiliar with the different diameter thread perhaps order a small amount of a few different sizes. It can be confusing when first starting out figuring which size you need.
