Check with Julie............. I see she has some light dusty rose in stock that could possibly be re-dyed to a peach color.

Thanks Billy.  Oziris and I have been chatting already.  I think the problem might be finding the dye in Bosnia Herzegovina. 

Didn't you used to sell those shades of dye? or fabric?  I've looked on the site we purchase dye from and none with ship there.  I think the country restrictions won't allow it.

I think Matt used to sell that color fleece, but when I try to go to his site, my browser blocks it as if there is a problem with the site.  I'm not sure he is still selling product.  Anyone know?

I only sell the kits in the USA at the moment and not internationally. Not sure what Matt has available.

If you can't find dyes in your country you have to think out side the box and dye using natural ingredients. First what colors make up the color peach.......... usually pink and orange.

Here are some natural ways to dye fabric using vegetables and natural plants............ this may be a option. It may take some experimental work on your part but it is worth a try.

thanks a lot.I found a white feelce but I do not know can I paint later, because I do not know Is it a natural material becouse polyester cant
Re: Antron Fleece Anouncement! Posted by Out of the Box Puppets on Sep 14, 2011
Antron is made from nylon so it take color well.  You are correct polyester (regular polar fleece) will not accept the dye like the antron.

I checked on the rit dye website and they do not ship to Bosnia Herzegovina.  We also are unable to ship the dyes.

You might try using tea.  You won't achieve a pinkish color, but you might be able to get a flesh color.  I would definitely test a very small amount of the antron.

I have heard of using coffee on muslin not sure how it would do on antron. I'll try in the morning at breakfast. LOL

I have also read you can use food coloring, koolaid, and vinegar as a fixative. Haven't tried it yet.
Re: Antron Fleece Anouncement! Posted by Shawn on Sep 15, 2011
Hmm... Koolaid.... that made me think that most every bottled soft drink out there now has some type of dye in it. Also everyone always freaks out when wine is spilled because it stains so bad. I bet that a combination of wine and say tea or coffee might get the right results.

Like Julie said Antron does take dye. That means that any of the natural methods of dye should work. It just takes experimenting.   Also as Billy mentioned vinegar or even salt is a natural fixative.

Right now do not have any Fleece for sale. All I have is pieces that I cut off of rolls that were dirty from the factory/shipping, and I deemed not suitable for sale.

I recently got a promotion at work that required me to move from Kansas City to Tampa, and is not giving me much time off (worked 42 days straight). In the process I let the SSL cert expire, so that is why its not displaying correctly.

Will let you guys know once I get fleece back in stock.
