Alternative Colours of Griffin Silk?

Hello everyone!

I am looking for some information on Griffin silk, more specifically the fun neon and rainbow varieties. I'm curious to know if these are custom dyed or if Griffin supplies it themselves. I'm not opposed to dyeing myself but if there's an easier route that would be preferred! I've only been able to find them on sale on Etsy so far and haven't been able to find them elsewhere.

If not Griffin, maybe someone has a line on more vibrant colours? I have used Serafil in the past but my preference is for silk.

Thank you!

I read the ad on Etsy for the seller who carries these colors. She states that she hand-dyes them.

I gave up on stringing with silk when I tried Beaders Secret from Patrica Saab on Etsy. It's poly, but it knots where you want it to, and when you want it to. I threw away all my beading silk after trying poly thread. Plus, Beaders Secret comes in a lot of colors.

Pearl Dreams - Thank you! I feel foolish for not having read the listings close enough.

BWeaves - Perhaps I'll give it another try! You all speak so highly of it here.

Thank you both!
