Default Do black dyed materials seem thinner, sparser...?


I'm guessing that the previous responses are correct. If you do your own
dyeing, try using human hair dye. You can get the cheapest,like Lady
Clarol, at a beauticians supply store. Get the kit or just the dye plus
20% developer and use just enough to rub into the material. Allow to
set, rinse thoroughly and air dry. You'll get a deep black without
damaging or thinniing the material.
