Dyed Parachutes

These parachutes are made of "rip-stop" material, a woven, lightweight nylon that resists ripping and tearing. It is the shiny, tough fabric that is often used in making sleeping bags, tents, parachutes and many other items which "catch the wind" along with some sports clothing. 

We have taken the white parachutes and hand dyed them to produce these beautiful Colored Parachutes. The result of hand dyeing is that even though our Colored Parachutes have a similar look; they still express an individual character of their own. Some are uniform in color; others have a slight tie-dyed effect, while still others have what we call a sunburst effect. The tie-dyed effect is a dark color with lighter shades of the same color mixed in. The sunburst effect is a beautiful color that is dark and vibrant, mixed with another color that is an element of that very color. For example, dark green is made with the elements green and brown so the sunburst effect of dark green is a parachute that is mostly dark green with bursts of brown mixed in. The result is a beautiful parachute. The sunbursts are our favorite because they hint of being two-toned even though only one color of dye has been used.  

 The “rip-stop” nylon seems to have a mind of its own, and takes the color as it sees fit. The result is that when a batch is dyed most of the parachutes look similar but each insists on expressing its own characteristics. The results are brilliant, surprising and sometimes unexpected. Click on a color parachute and see for yourself.

All of our hand dyed parachutes are repackaged into clear plastic bags. Once they are removed from the canvas bag for dyeing we are not able to return them to the bag again.  

These parachutes are 60” in diameter with a 4” center hole, 12 panels and 12 shroud lines - which are 5’ in length, and an 8“ sheath on the end of the shroud lines which is flame resistant.

USES 

Along with the obvious use as a "Rocket Recovery System", these parachutes are being used for some very interesting things! We have sold these to customers in the UK for use with "Large-Scale" Model Aircraft, and to customers in Europe and Asia for use in retrieving meteorological instrumentation from Weather Balloons.

 If you have another use for these parachutes than those listed here, please consider letting us know about it. We hope to feature some of our customer's pictures in the near future, showing the things they like to do with these parachutes!

Another area of interest to us is to keep up with the locations of our customers. We currently have sold these parachutes "around the world", on the continents of Asia, North America, Europe and Australia. That only leaves Africa, South America and Antarctica.
