To Dye For...

For those of you who are asking....what on earth are these? I must say a rather unique Industrial Artifact. They are Dye tubes used in the process of colouring cottons & wool in the factories across the USA & Europe. They are highly sort after by Event & Party Co - ordinators for table centre pieces & make a Vinatge Wedding look complete with Tea Lights inside or wound with ribbon or raffia. What a novel idea don't you think? Sure to make an interesting talking point!

Industrial Dye tubes with Tea Light Votives inside.
Available from - Picket Fence Imports
This image give you an idea how the tubes were used in the Dying
process. They used either cotton or wool wound around the tubes
and thrown into large vats filled with coloured Dye.
Very unusual & unique....
