Depends on the dyes you’re trying to use, and whether it’s a modified fiber or not. Of this bunch, I’d say polypropylene, which is usually mass dyed, but there’s now a version dyeable with disperse dyes.http://www.textileworld.com/Articles/2006/Septembe… — I just haven’t seen any.For more clues on what will dye with what sorts of dyes, look at the chemical structures. Hint: nylon has a very similar bond to one of the natural fibers that dyes easily.More hints: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/2513703-AA.s… http://www.pburch.net/dyeing.shtml... Show More
