Lilac Jacquard iDye Fabric Dye 14 g IDYE-414

Product Information

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. 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.

Maintain a rolling boil and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform colour use constant agitation. 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. 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). Every fabric has a different color. The result of the dyeing always depends on the material of the fabric, the temperature during dyeing, the original color and many other factors. 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 DyeGet Warmer Colours:add a small amount of brilliant yellow, tangerine orange, scarlet or cardinal red dye (example: add brilliant yellow to make magenta a true red).

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. When the machine has completed the wash cycle allow it to complete the balance of the wash/rinse/spin cycle. 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. Maintain a rolling boil and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform color, use constant agitation.Instructions below are for achieving the most vibrant color. For lighter shades, use less dye.

Fabric Dye Bright Lilac

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. 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. 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. 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.

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: Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely. Turn heat on high.

Preparation

Do two separate dyebaths, one with salt and one with vinegar. This will probably be best for darkest colours. 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. 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.
