Vintage Early to Mid 1900s Putnam Fabric Millinery Dye Purple NOS - Great for dying Millinery Flowers
According to what I have found online, most of the Putnam Dyes I have listed are from the early to mid 1900s. In the past, I used these dyes to reproduce wool felt and ribbon flowers as well as linings for some of the vintage hats needing restorations. There is nothing like the warm colors produced with these dye packets from the past.

I recentlyfound this online and felt obligated to add this information to my descriptiom. I do not want to cause harm to anyone, soplease read this prior to using the dye.

Warning: Since they are old, chances are that they include somebenzidine-based dyes, as was common for all-purpose dyes right up until theearly nineteen-eighties. Benzidine-baseddyes, if absorbed into the body, can regenerate benzidine as the body tries tobreak them down. Benzidine is a knowncause of bladder cancer. Don\'t allow any of this dye to contact your skin, norany food preparation areas or equipment. Note: The fabric is safe after it has been rinsed and dried and can be worn.

MAKING TWO TONE RIBBON FOR FLOWERS & LEAVES: You tube has step by step video instructions for making ribbon flowers and leaves. Ribbons can be dyed two colors in order to produce stunning two tone flowers and leaves like the ones from the past. To start, put on disposable gloves. Place some dye in a small cup (best to use disposable plastic condiment cups) deep enough to cover about half the width of the ribbon you are using. Roll a length of the ribbon - usually about 12\" or more depending on the flower you plan to make in a loose circle and place it in the cup. The deeper the shade you want, the longer you allow it to sit in the dye. After the one side of the ribbon is the shade you desire, carefully turn it over and dye the other side. You will either want this side lighter or darker than the first dyed area or perhaps you will want it to be a completely different color. This will require another cup with that color dye in it. When finished, unroll the ribbon and hang it to dry. Place a bucket or something else under the ribbon to catch the drips. Once the ribbon is finished drying, if it does not need pressing with an iron, you can begin making your flower or leaf. I used to store dye in half gallon sized plastic juice containers and stick a color label on them for future use.This sale is for one package of dye in the color shown in the first and second picture. If you enlarge the second picture, it gives the information for how much is required for the amount of fabric you plan to dye. Note: I apologize; however, although shipping is provided free for US residents, international buyers will have to pay a reduced shipping fee of $3.50 for one package and $1 for each additional package purchased. Flaws: The exterior package has some tearing, but the dye packet inside is intact and usable. The reduced price of this item reflects the aforementioned
