Hi all:
I have been getting a few requests for dyed cotton cord and I have been thinking about getting into the colored cord game for limited runs.
If there is enough interest in the dyed cord I can get a run of the cord made.
It would be the same cord that I am currently selling on my website. The dyeing process involves a commitment to getting 65 lbs of yarn (65 lbs is the minimum that they will dye per color) The yarn has to be shipped to the dyeworks then the yarn is put into a pressurized vat and then the colorfast dye is pushed into the yarn. After that it is shipped to the mill to be twisted into cord. The dyeing process ends up costing about $5.00 per lb of yarn which would add $10.00 to the price of a 2 lb spool. I have made a few runs of the dyed cord for some people to use to make nautical style belts and bracelets. You can see the colors on their website.
(I'm not getting any commision on any sales this is just the easiest way for me to show the colors)

I will have to say it does look good when I open a box and see those different colors in there and then the idea gears start clicking. I was also suprised to find out how popular the pink cord was.
Anyway let me know if you are interested if I could get enough interest for 30 2 lb spools in any of the colors I could probably do this.
