However, I will be doing the shibori dye with Fibre reactives - Drimerene K which are fantastic for color fastness and I hope this will help. Also the orignal handpainted warp was done with Fibre reactives so it's actually just the silk weft that has been toned/dyed with the Landscape dyes. I have a friend who uses these dyes with felting with great success so everything's worth a try! Having said that I will keep you informed of any migrations! Thanks for your comments. Lovely.

I found they were not as fast on silk as I would have liked: they migrated in washing after the textile was finished. My understanding is that they are level acid dyes, and not suitable for temps above 105ºF. Thoughts? Hi Karen;
