Damn, it looks really nice. Love the colors. Did you dye it yourself? What kind of dye is used on leather?
Vegan leather, so presumably soy based ;-)
I use dyes from a company called Fiebings on leather projects, but I’m not OP.
Not vegan. Veg-tan.
I too use fiebings. Also, as actionjbone mentionned, it's vegetable tanned leather indeed, not vegan leather.
Very nice project, I want to get back into the hobby… I always had trouble getting the knot stitch right, dyslexia makes the oddest things a challenge 😌
I use fiebings, they have two type of dye, the regular and the 'pro' one. Regular dye are alcohol based, and the pro one have a mix of oil and alcohol. I mostly use the pro dye, but I've had good results with both.
The one I used here is their royal blue pro dye.
