Title: Dye for swade handle
Post by: tgr on November 14, 2011, 11:51:34 pm

I have some old swade that I have been using for bow handle wrap.  I would like to dye the next handle to a red or black.  Any suggestions on what I can use to change the color?

Thanks ahead.

I have been using Ritt dye.( Found another type that has more colors and it works well but can't remember the name. ::))

Whenever I dyed suede or buckskin RED - no matter what kind of dye -  it bleeded badly soon as it got wet. The sweat of my hand on a summer's day was good enough.
