Abstract
A portable thread dyeing kit comprises, preferably, a plurality of separate compartments each containing a liquid dye with an integral felt piece inside the compartment, the felt piece reaching into the dye and being soaked with same. Near the top of each compartment is a pair of orifices in opposite side walls of the compartment for transversely passing a needle through the container and through the respective felt piece. Accordingly, as a white thread is passed through the appropriate felt piece, the thread is dyed to the respective color. The device is extremely simple and thus inexpensive to produce as it avoids split arrangement of absorbent pads used for the same purpose in prior art.

A portable thread dyeing kit comprising, in combination,
- a generally completely enclosed and sealed container means including a bottom wall, side walls and a top wall,
- said container means comprising, interiorly thereof, an integral piece of felt-like absorbent material soaked by a liquid dye, said piece reaching generally up to said top wall;
- generally coaxial orifices disposed one in each of said side walls at a point thereof relatively remote from said bottom wall and relatively close to said top wall, said orifices being of the size allowing transverse passage through said container of a sewing needle;
- the arrangement of said orifices relative to said integral piece being such that an axis of said orifices extends through a generally solid portion of said integral piece.
A kit as claimed 1, 2 or 3, of the type of a box whose interior is divided by liquid impermeable partitions into a plurality of said container means, each container means comprising a different dye.
