They should go Lavender, but it could be expensive if it does not work out  :-\

Have you contacted Colored Tuffs & asked them  ???

Cheer's for the quick response mate, i emailed colored tuff's about 5 week's ago asking if they were still selling lavender tuff's(not about dying them). They never got back to me :Aresehole: I tend not to want to part with the old coloured folding stuff with businesses like that >:(

Ed is always a bit slow to respond as he's still very much a one man band and almost always 100% flat out , bit harsh with your comment though.

No reason why a pair of white ones would not dye to lavender, use Rit Dye, plenty of salt and some heat and you'll be well away.  If they turn out a yucky colour you can always dye them blue or black  ;).

No I agree with oldskoolbuz marty, if ed is to busy to answer an email, then he should employ someone to do it for him, I'm sure he would sell a lot more stuff which would pay the wages easy  :daumenhoch:

Maybe i was  a tad harsh with my comment(just venting off a little), though @the end of the day he is running a business to make money surely ???. Anyway, a big thanks to you MartyC & 'wish i'd kept my TA' for the kind advice.

I shall give it a go with the rit dye soon & let you know what the final result turns out like :daumenhoch:
