About this deal

Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely. Turn heat on high. Substitute Dyes: a Tintex dye from the same colour family can be used in a new dye formula. Colour results may vary depending on how light/dark the substituted colour is and how much dyed is used in the formula (example: cardinal red, scarlet red, tangerine orange). If you are dyeing silk you will use 1/3 cup of vinegar instead of salt. Do not use the washing machine method for wool because it will felt. Make a custom colour sample: cut a 12" x 12" swatch of fabric and measure dye with a teaspoon or tablespoon. Dissolve Tintex into 1 or 2 cups of very hot water. Each custom colour recipe may include full or partial measurements of teaspoons or tablespoons (example: 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 tsp and/or Tbsp). Adjust the amount of dye as needed to get your desired custom colour. Make Pastels Using Any Tintex Dye

Polyester is hard to dye and requires very high water temperature to achieve good color; therefore, we recommend dyeing polyester only with the stovetop method. Turn off heat and allow the dye bath to return to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Rinse when cool enough to handle. Wear gloves as residual dye can stain skin. Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely.Turn heat on high. For cotton, linen and rayon add one cup (237 ml) of salt. For silk add 1/3 cup (78 ml) of white vinegar instead of salt. Do not use the washing machine method for wool as it will felt. A small amount of any dye makes a pastel (example: use 1/16, 1/8 or 1/4 tsp of dye colour mixed with 1 cup hot water). Start with the smallest amount and add more dye or hot water as needed.If you use Aybel Fiske, add the content of the sachet Aybel Fiske into the bin for softener of your washing machine. Hand dye Add the iDye Poly dye and iDye Color Intensifier (14 ml/2 lbs fabric) to water and bring to a simmer. Stir until dissolved. Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely. Turn on to high heat.

If you are doing a cotton and silk blend and don’t know whether to add the salt or the vinegar you have 3 options: Add 1 cup/237 ml of non-iodized salt for cotton, linen and rayon or ¹/³ cup/78 ml of white vinegar for silk. Avoid pouring directly onto fabric. Extend the dyeing time by resetting the wash cycle before the rinse cycle begins. The longer the dyeing time, the darker the colour and better the fixation. We recommend 50 to 60 minutes of dyeing time. Instructions below are for achieving the most vibrant color. For lighter shades, use less dye. Add dye to the dye bath in the appropriate amount to achieve desired shade.

Fabric Dye Bright Lilac

When the machine has completed the wash cycle allow it to complete the balance of the wash/rinse/spin cycle. For cotton, linen and rayon dissolve one cup (237 ml) of salt in a little hot water and add to dye bath. For silk and wool add a third of a cup (78 ml) of white vinegar instead of salt. Avoid pouring directly onto fabric. Do two separate dyebaths, one with salt and one with vinegar. This will probably be best for darkest colours. Wet the fabric and place it in the drum of the washing machine. Select a main wash program (minimum 30-40 minutes) and the highest temperature allowed as indicated on the fabric label. Example: To dye one pound of 75% polyester & 25% cotton fabric, you would need approximately ½ oz. of dye. The ratio of iDye for Natural Fibers (cotton) would be 25% or 1/8 oz of dye. The ratio of iDye Poly (polyester) would be 75% or 3/8 oz of dye.

Add 1 cup (237 ml) of fabric salt for cotton, linen and rayon or a third of a cup (78 ml) of white vinegar for silk. Avoid pouring directly onto fabric. When computing the percentage of iDye & iDye Poly (to achieve the 3-5% dye used), remember to take into account the blend of your fabric. Not all fabrics are blended 50/50. Fabric Dye Colour Guide Create 100's of new custom fabric dye colours using the core Tintex dyes. A basic sampling of colours is very versatile for many projects. Add the content of the sachet Fabric Dye into 20 cl hot water. Add a tablespoon of salt (20 gram) and stir until all powder is dissolved. For wool and polyamide (nylon) add a tablespoon full of vinegar to the solution.

Preparation

Add pre-wetted fabric and bring to a rolling boil. Maintain temperature and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform color, use constant agitation. Use double the usual amount of dye for projects using dark colours and bright colours. Get the most colour intensity when you use the hottest water possible for your fabric (example: use the stove top dyeing method, heat water with a kettle or use 140°F water). Neutralize Bright Fabric When Over-Dyeing Darker Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough warm water for the fabric to move freely. Turn heat on medium. Remove fabric from water. Add pre-wetted garments or fabric and bring to a rolling boil. Maintain temperature and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform colour, use constant agitation.

Set your machine for the hottest possible water temperature and longest possible wash cycle. If you are able to extend the wash cycle, do so. The longer you are able to allow the fabric to remain in the wash/dye cycle the darker the colour and the better the fixation.Maintain a rolling boil and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform color, use constant agitation. Pour the dissolved paint into the main washing machine detergent container. For washing machines that do NOT start pumping off, the dissolved paint can also be poured into the drum of the washing machine.
