DYLON HAND DYE 50g

 Permanent Colour for Fabric

 These little packs are bursting with a whole spectrum of ideas & with DYLON you have all the colours of the rainbow to choose from.  So if you feel like a change, you can wake up your wardrobe, revive a faded top or brighten some cushion covers with colour, ease & permanent results you will be proud of.

 Suitable for dyeing 250grams of cotton, linen and viscose to full colour shade e.g. one shirt or larger amounts to a lighter shade.  Wool, silk Polyester/cotton and polyester/viscose mixes will dye to a lighter shade.  Not suitable for pure polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabric with special finishes (e.g. dry clean only).  Final colour will depend on the original fabric colour and type.  Colour mixing rules apply, e.g. red dye on blue fabric gives purple.  Some articles may contain polyester stitching which will not dye.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

  • Weigh dry fabric; wash thoroughly (for new fabric warm wash with wash powder to remove any dressing).  Leave damp
  • Using rubber gloves, dissolve dye in 500ml warm water
  • Fill bowl, bucket or stainless steel sink with approx 6 litres warm water (40°C)
  • Stir in 1 cup (250g) of salt.  Add dye & stir well.
  • Submerge fabric in water and stir constantly for first 10-15mins, squeezing the dye onto the fabric
  • Then stir regularly for 45min so the fabric is in the dye for total 1hour.
  • Rinse fabric in cold water.  Hand wash in warm water & dry away from direct heat & sunlight (do not tumble dry after dyeing)

HELPFUL HINTS

  • You will need 250g (1 cup) of ordinary salt, household cooking salt is ideal
  • One pack will dye up to 250g of fabric e.g. one men’s business shirt, 2 ladies small tops, 3 face washers, 2 hand towels or larger amounts to lighter shades.
  • Remember to ensure the dye vessel allows free movement of the fabric when dyeing, for larger items in laundry sinks you may need 2 packs of hand dye
  • Using half the sachet will give reduced shades results, e.g. pastel shades
  • Please note: Colour mixing rules apply (e.g. blue on red gives purple)
