UPDATE: I got an email from Carolyn who says that these dyes have a shelf life of 3 years. They are way older than that. So the post below is nugatory. (If you don't use the word 'nugatory' you should. It's a great word!)

My guess is that I need to make the dyes go away because they are surely too toxic to put in the trash. Any ideas?

Way back when, I dyed my own fabric. I liked doing it then but I have moved on fabric-wise. Now I buy hand-dyed fabric :-). However, I still have a box of Procion dyes that I've held onto thinking that I might dye again. Now I need the shelf space so the dyes need a good home. I was going to put them in Lorna and Chris's upcoming garage sale but then I thought that one of you might rather have them. Here they are:

Many of these dyes came from Brooks & Flynn – a great source for dyes back in the day. There are a bunch of colors. Most jars are about half-full, give or take. There is a half-gallon of pure TSP. Everything is still powdery – they have not gotten wet and as far as I know these dyes do not lose strength with time.

Is anyone interested in the lot for $25? I think that's a reasonable price. If not, let me know. Shipping will be extra and I'm guessing that will run an additional $15-$20 inside the US. It would be more for overseas shipping. It's going to take a good-sized box.
