If it was a spirit based dye, I have had good results with rubbing alcohol
and a stiff brstled brush followed by lots of scrubbing with soap and a
brush.   Even with that I usually am left with slightly dyed hands, but it
does fade in a week or so.  (As a leatherworker I usually live with that left
over as a mark of the trade, but that's just me.  :->)

Noemi, whose hands are a bit grey right now from black leather dye
