Love This!
"This is perfect, really great as a warp or weft, and for finer knitting projects. Perfect weight and feels very nice too. Lovely at taking up dyes too!"

Dye-Lishus Easy Dye 5/3 Cotton Yarn Skein Bundle
This 10 skein (100g each) bundle is ready for the dye kitchen!
E-Z Dye Cotton has been treated allow the fiber to accept dyes more readily than the traditional mercerization using a less caustic method. The treatment is permanent, and can not be removed by washing. The fiber is treated with a fugitive tint so that it can be distinguished from untreated cotton, and must be scoured prior to dyeing.
Dyes which can be used with this cotton include acid dyes in addition to the fiber reactive and direct dyes commonly used for cotton. It should be noted that Kool-Aid is an acid dye.
In the sample (above - shown with the cone of yarn), EZ Dye cotton and white cotton were alternated in both warp and weft. The upper right corner shows the cloth undyed. The pink in the lower right is Procion fiber reactive dye and the blue in the upper left is Cushing's direct dye. The lower left is the pink overdyed with the blue.
In the second example above, a set of napkins tie-dyed with Procion. EZ Dye weft on untreated white warp. Note the white warp remains undyed.

Love this yarn!
"I used this to weave dish towels. It's soft and absorbent and easy to weave!"
Question
"I have purchased the Dye-Lishus Yarn a few times, for dying and it has worked very well. But I used the yarn for towels,did not use any dying and can't help but notice a funny smell to the towels/yarn. I have washed twice with detergent in hot water, still smells-any suggestions on how to get the smell out ? Thank you !"
Dye-Lishus 5/3
"A great weight of yarn that I have had trouble finding a comparable one to. And the uptake in color is, currently for me, unbeatable. Takes natural dyes quite well, so many avenues of use."
Great product
"The Dye-Lishus Easy Dye Cotton is terrific. It is just that easy to dye and has a nice drape for my weaving projects."
