Yes ... and very successfully if you bear in mind that you're dying feathers, hair etc that can be delicate in nature and doesn't need immersing in boiling dye mixture.

Lots of advice available on the net.

Hi Boony,

Check out 'dylon' I've used it in the past - but not for a few years. It's pretty easy to use, but red & black are always a problem to dye successfully . . .
Hope this helps mate & Happy Xmas !!
