Dying the Springweave from SequinsDirect?
I was looking at the Springweave on SequinsDirect, and I notice that they have white available that I could dye. Howev, it doesn't list the type of fabric it is or its contents, so I really don't know if it can be dyed or not. Has anybody had success with this? I'm trying to make a pair of Robin's trunks.

Unfortunately no, it's not dyeable.
Even the company that does the batsuit fabric for me won't touch it.

Thanks. Could you tell me what kind of fiber this particular springweave is made from? I couldn't find it on the website.Chuck Williams wrote:Unfortunately no, it's not dyeable.

Just an FYI, Fellow Bat-Fans, Springweave in Black was used for 1st and 2nd season Star Trek TOS mens uniform shirt collars. 3rd season St:TOS Men's uniform shirt collars were a straight ribbed knit fabric. Let Me tell You, it's a BEAR to sew!!!
