Just got back from the ILHF in Warwickshire with a pile of leather, some longbow arrows, a new awl blade and 3m of 12oz loomstate canvas - all at a bargain price!
However - I have made a couple of rucksacks using olive green dyed and water/rotproofed canvas before (a third in the pipeline) but have never had any experience with this "raw" stuff.
Anyone dyed it? Will Dylon cold dye be OK? And will Fabsil sort out the water/rotproof side of things? Any answers appreciated.
I have dyed calico a nice sepia shade using teabags at work, but only on a small scale - any other suggestions for natural dyes?
Cheers in advance.
