Greener ShadesTM is a non-hazardous, non-chrome, low impact, heavy metal-free acid dye for use on silk, wool, nylon, or any animal fiber. Formulated without the use of hazardous metals, these dyes provides superior light and wash fastness without relying on metal compounds to achieve bright and beautiful colors.

 

Greener ShadesTM are of superior quality, exhaust well, and have level performance when mixed with each other. These dyes also conform to the Organic Trade Association's standards for Organic Fiber Processing!

Only through the Greener ShadesTM line of dyes is this advanced product available to the home/studio dyer. Available in 8 vibrant colors plus a midnight black that is out of this world!
