Mother MacKenzie's Miracle Dyes (by Judith MacKenzie-McCuin)
These are professional quality acid dyes that not only deliver beautiful wash-fast colors but are also
environmentally friendly! The dyes are sold in a kit of 9 colors and includes a basic instruction booklet.
Also available separately, a companion dye book created by Linda Jacobs, with percentages of solution used to create
over 100 different colors, complete with dyed yarn samples in a 3-ring binder. To purchase either of these items,
please click on "Shop" and go to "Dyes". Replacement dyes in custom quantities are available
upon request. Please send me an e-mail or call. We are proud to carry
