Message: Who sells Lanaset dyes? You have all types of companies but I do not see any that sell Lanaset.

Lanaset dyes, an extremely well-liked range of premetalized and reactive dyes for use on silk, wool, and nylon, are sold by a number of different mail-order retail suppliers. The same dye range is sold under the names Sabraset and Telana, in addition to Lanaset.

In the US, two of the companies you can buy these dyes from are PRO Chemical & Dye, and Earth Guild. These are the only two companies that supply Lanaset dye that I've actually purchased dyes from myself. ProChem has significantly cheaper prices per pound, as well as the most reliable instructions, and includes several convenient pre-mixed colors as well, but Earth Guild allows you to buy as little as half an ounce of each color you choose, and carries one different orange Lanaset dye. A web search with "Lanaset" or "Telana" will turn up several more US mail-order suppliers.

In Canada, a good source for Lanaset dyes is Maiwa Handprints. Kraftkolour in Australia also carries them. I do not know about retail sources in other countries.

Favorite books with recipes for use of Lanaset dyes include Deb Menz's Color In Spinning (pictured at right), Dagmar Klos's Dyer's Companion, and Karren Brito's Shibori: Creating Color And Texture on Silk (pictured at left).
