Recently I tried various ways of dying fabrics, and really loved the outcome bear_original
Now I am moving to the next challenge - I want to dye mohair in two ways:

  • dye backing without touching the hair

  • dye tips of hair without dying the backing

I found some great tips here on how to do the first thing, but I am breaking my head now on how to do tipped mohair or alpaca. I thought about a way, somewhat similar to one of the tips given for dying the backing - put dye into a big flat bowl so that I could put in there only the backing - and hair would stay above the liquid, or, in my case, I would put inside only the tips of hair. But the question is - how to hold the fabric and keep its backing away from the dye? Do you have maybe other ideas? I would soo much appreciate some advice!
