This online store is just for cross stitch items...hence the name "Everything Cross Stitch".
If you are looking for a bricks and mortar store, I do not know of any.

I think FlossTube or YouTube might be able to help you. Lots of folk in here have lots of experience, but dyeing fabric hasn't been discussed very much. And you could try doing a search in the chat board search box. Good luck...to me, it would just be easier to switch to 14 ct., but I'm lazy and mostly good for naught. :)

There are some brick and mortar stores that are strictly needlework shops --it just depends on where you live. You can always check your area on line if you're comfortable with computers. And folks dye cross-stitch fabric all the time. Some people even paint it before stitching -- just depends on what effect you want. You can get some dyes at a Michaels store if you have one in your area -- just be sure that it's colorfast. You-tube should be an excellent source of information on how to do it. Good luck and have fun.

Most fabric stores (like JoAnn's) do carry dye. I always call first because we live like hermits and are not in the city nearby very often. Most of their employees seem familiar with the inventory and let you know what is in stock. I have always used Rit dye.
