Dylon fabric dyes for handwash use. Suitable for smaller items like shorts vests or socks or for items not suited to machine washing. Gives permanent colour to cotton linen and viscose with lighter shades on polyester/cotton. Not suitable for pure synthetic fabrics. Available in 24 different colours. Weigh dry fabric. Wash fabric thoroughly even if new to remove stains or dressings which may not be visible to the eye and leave damp. Wearing rubber gloves dissolve dye in 500ml of warm water stirring thoroughly. Put 6 litres of warm water (40c) into a bowl or stainless steel sink (please note we do not recommend a bath and dye may stain some plastic containers). Stir in 250g of salt then add dye solution stirring well. Put the damp fabric into the bowl. Stir continually for the first 15 minutes then stir regularly for another 45 minutes. Rinse fabric in cold water until water runs clear then wash separately in warm water.
