What type of dye is appropriate for dyeing velvet?
Also, what procedure should I use for dyeing the velvet just a simple solid color (light lime green)?

Kelly,
You can dye velvet that is rayon and silk with the reactive dyes available at www.dharmatrading.com. This is the crucial part – it has to be the rayon and silk velvet. Other fiber content will not take the dye.
I dye silk/rayon velvet all the time with great results. It’s easy in the washer. Read the instructions in the Dharma catalog and write me if you have further questions.
Have fun,
Jennifer
