Viktoria Bucket or Sink Method

1. To determine how much dye is needed, weigh the item to be dyed on a food scales or estimate the weight. Generally, a package of Viktoria Fabric Dye dyes 200 grams of dry fabric. If you want to get a very bold color, double the amount of dye.

2. If you are not sure about whether your fabric will accept the dye or whether it will be the color you want, we recommend that you first test a swatch. 

3. Before dyeing, remove stains on the clothes. This enables to have straight color results while dyeing. Wash the prewashing item with warm and soapy water. This helps to remove all surfaces which may prevent dye absorption.

4. Cover the working place with a plastic tablecloth and use practical paper towels to protect against possible spills.

5. Use rubber gloves to protect hands from getting dirty and to isolate them when working with hot water.

6. Fill a plastic container or stainless steel sink with enough water to allow the fabric to move freely. Water should be 60ºC ideally. If the tap water is not hot enough, heat the water in the oven and add to the dye liquor. 

7. To boost the color: (1) add a glass of salt while dyeing fabrics containing cotton, rayon, ramie and linen; (2) add a glass of vinegar while dyeing fabrics containing nylon, silk or wool. 

8. Add a tea spoon of dishwashing liquid to support level dyeing.

9. Dissolve the powder paint duly with a hot water in a plastic container.

10. Cast the dissolved powder paint into dye liquor and stir well.

11. Test the color by sopping a paper towel in the dye liquor. If the color is too light, add more dye. If the color is too dark, add more water. 

12. Wet the item to be dyed and add to the dye liquor.

13. Stir slowly and continuously. The first ten minutes is the most critical. Stirring helps to provide the same color without leaving stains. 

14. The item can be kept within the dye liquor for ten minutes to an hour. Keep the fabric in the dye liquor for at least 30 minutes to ensure that the color is completely filled. Nylon inclines to dye much faster and much darker than other fibers, so less time is needed in the dye liquor. 

15. When the desired color is achieved, remove it from the dye liquor. The fabric will look darker when wet and then will become lighter as it dries.

16. To boost color and reduce color bleeding, use Fiske Fabric Dye Stabilizer immediately after dyeing and before washing by reading these instructions.
