Is there an online source for colored elastic in the 1 to 1 1/4 inch
wide range? I've done a search but have had no luck; it could have
been my search method. Anyone have a site to share??

I have now checked out the sources I posted and I see that only the Sew
Sassy has a fairly wide selection of elastic in different colors.
www.sewsassy.com

The others are not much use, although I did find quite a few interesting
things at www.seattlefabrics.com

Sorry for not checking out the sources before my previous post,

Judie

No, I figured it would behave like polyester and not accept dye.

For small applications I have used Sharpie markers to color elastic.
They also work very well to color snaps, zipper teeth & pulls, and
other metal items.
