Thanks for sharing! I just started using acid dyes too. FUN! I'm not sure because I'm brand new to this dyeing process, but would "think" that holding the dye over the steam might get too much moisture into the container if there will be any remaining dye in it. I used a little measuring spoon to play it safe. The feather colors you ended up with look amazing!
What color is that? Food color or the color used to dye clothes?? Let me know pleasee😭 I've been searching and trying to make colored feathers, all failed. It seems helpful to me. Would you answer me....
alsina ashraf its Veniards acid colors for coloring feathers and fur just Google it would solve your issues. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Veniard-Special-Dye-for-Fly-Tyers-Feathers-Furs-in-40-Shades-Fly-Tying-Dyes-/401268056163
Where do you get the white turkey feathers? I just started dying feathers and at the moment I am stuck with goose for my married wings, and I don't have a ton of money to spend on dyed turkey.
It depends, it’s hard to find in good quality and large numbers. Have a look in your area of Turkey farms and what speices they raise, If White ones then drive by and have a chat with the owner.
I source feathers from a lot of different places, friends, cookshill in UK, feathersmc in US, China, in a few forum on facebook and by people reaching out to me and of course on fairs.

Was that an acid that you added to both? What type? Thanks
I’m using citric acid to bind the colors to the feathers
Is food colour work for this?
To be honest i don’t know, never tried that myself
