Dyeing white floss with ink....

This is just a quick pictorial of how I dye white floss...using my tile counter instead of my usual mat, I laid the floss down, and wet with some denatured alcohol. I would suggest that you open a window if possible to keep the fumes down. As you might guess I am using Ranger's distress inkers.  They are very concentrated and it just takes a few shakes here and there and then blend them together.

I like to use at least two different colors.  Or two blues, etc...Then I pat them down with my fingers.  You could use a inking tool to keep your hands cleaner...Rinse in hot water after you get the colors you like.  Repeat inking if you don't like what you see. 

Then you can air dry like this.

 Or you can press them on a paper towel with a iron until dry.  Still be wary of them bleeding.  I would wash them at least another time.  I'll wind them on cardboard and add to my gift stash.

Or you can kill, waste all dayprint out some fancy bobbins and wind your special dyed threads on it.       Happy Stitching, Kathy
