Hello,
I have been looking for MONTHS for the White Silk Rolled Cord.  Dharma Trading carries it but they do not expect more until mid-November.  I am really desperate to find some.  Do you carry it or know where I may purchase some by-the-spool?  I do appreciate any help you can give me.  My very best, Kathleen

I don't sell dyeing supplies, though I do list a number of different companies around the world that sell dyeing supplies on my Sources for Dyeing Supplies page.

In addition, you might try RibbonSmyth's. They have dyeable 2 mm silk cord, but I don't know if it is rolled. You might want to contact them to see if they might have other cord which is not currently shown on their site.

Tinsel Trading Company sells 1/4" and 1/2" wide twisted silk cording; contact them to find if they sell it in undyed or white.

Many fabrics and crafts stores, such as Joann's, sell nylon or rayon 'rattail' satin cord. Nylon cording can be dyed with silk dyes, with the exact same recipes and steaming as for silk. Rayon cannot be dyed with silk dye, but it is very easy to dye with cotton dyes, such as Procion MX dyes. Be careful when buying 'satin' cord whose fiber content is not labeled, as satin can be woven from any fiber, natural or synthetic. For a source of rayon rattail cord whose fiber content is known, see Earth Guild. Avoid all synthetic fibers other than nylon and rayon.

Many jewelry supply companies sell very narrow silk beading cord. This will be difficult or impossible to dye if it has been waxed, however.
