| Anyone here have any experience dying tyvek? Will it take dye readily. Are the colors even or sorta mottled? What kinds of dyes work well? |

I haven’t tried dying Tyvek, but it should be possible...
When looking for a dye, check to see if it dyes Olefin fibers, because that is what Tyvek is....
I recommend you call the people at Pro Dye and Chemical to see what they recommend.
