Hello all 'I have been having a go trying to dye hollow pillow fibers chartreuse for making ferris indicators.I ordered Veniards dye but it's not having any effect on the material.Not sure but i think hollow pillow fibers are made from Polyester.I have read you need to use Disperse type dyes for Polyester.Can anyone recommend a good Disperse dye & some tips for dying Polyester.Cheers All

I would have thought the standard DYLON dyes would suit the bill but then again Disperse Dyes I have never heard off so maybe not.
