rayon is semi-synthetic, but I think it should abrosb dye reasonably well. you might want to use a generous amount to be sure."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

Out of Japan, consider Reiz and Derome Brenner.
For Horn, check out: Hartmann Brilliance for ~∞ dollars in Vienna, Fine Arts Optical in SF (they use a french contractor), and check out Rigards (not custom though). Some places carry Hackett horn, which is semi-tolerable, but more expensive than other candidates and shittier.
For wood, consider M.A.D.E. Also, there's a german maker of some wonderful wood frames, but I can't remember their name, and the only stockist I know of is a glasses shop 2 doors down from the Ann D store in Antwerp, Belgium.
I don't know of anyone making bone glasses. Now I kind of want find some...Hobo: We all dress up. We all put on our armour before we walk out the door, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re trying to be someone else.

Rayon is dyed the same way cotton is dyed simply because it is a reprocessed cellulose fibre (meaning natural, like cotton). Every fabric compound requires a different dyeing method / type. For 50% cotton and 50% rayon, a "reactive dye" would be preferred at about 50-60ºC dyeing temperature. This type of dye requires salt to activate the dye onto the fabric. Do your research before dyeing.
Using too much dye is no good as this could migrate onto other fabrics when washing or even when in contact / rubbed onto other fabrics. Liquor ratio is crucial. Hope this helps

re: too much dye - if you rinse and wash it properly after dyeing, it should not bleed. of course if you shtick in 10x the reccomended amount it might take more rinsing to get it out.
and I wouldn't go much past 40C on a delicate knit like that. if you use something like Dylon it should be enough."AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

Temperature shouldn't affect the dimensional stability / crystallinity of the fibre or skeletal structure. A cold reactive dyeing is often 50-60º due to the reactive chemical groups.
Anyway, does Luca himself or any of the stores do special orders for LUC?
Cheers.

The instruction tag on the knit says it should be washed at 30C, so I don't think I'll be dyeing it in over 40C water.. And what it comes to the amount of dye, I thought about using 2 packs of Dylon dye. I think that'll be enough. If not, I'll just dye it again..
Thank you lowrey, zamb and Supel for help!moderation kills the spirit
