compression hose


Name: Harry
Message: I want some nylon compression hose from tan to black. I need a small amount of dye. Can you direct me to a seller?

An excellent source of acid dyes, which are suitable for dyeing nylon, is ProChem. They are listed, with contact information, on my Sources for Supplies page.

For small quantities, you can use all-purpose dye, such as Rit or Tintex brand dye, because it is a mixture of acid dye with another type of dye. All-purpose dyes are very expensive per pound of fiber to be dyed, when compared to mail-order sources such as ProChem, but if one box is sufficient, that is not a problem. I do not recommend the use of all-purpose dye on cotton, but it works well on nylon.
