Description
Add some color to your leather craft projects with one (or more) of our favorite dyes. We have put together a collection of the colors that we like best. We do recommend wearing gloves when you do your dyeing to avoid staining your fingers.
For detailed instruction, be sure to order a copy of our Leathercraft Book!

While the price for the dyes plus shipping is pretty reasonable, I was under the impression these would be a “Moxie and Oliver” brand dye, and not just Tandy brand dyes, which I can get at the store down the road. Reading the description it doesn’t say anything about the brand of dye, only “a selection of our favorites”, which I guess could mean any brand, and while I pretty much only use Tandy anyway so I’m still happy, the description could be a little more specific.
