I have used these dyes for over 20 years and I love them because they are easy to use, very efficient and allow making a variety of very fast colours.

Dyes can be mixed to create your own individual colours.

I am always happy to combine a cost of postage.

Buy as many packets as you wish for one flat postage charge!  

If buying more than one colour, please request an invoice before making payment in order to benefit from my reduced combined postage rates. 

Instructions:

Put on rubber glows to avoid dyeing your hands and secure a place where you are going to work with some paper or plastic sheet.

2.    Weigh dry yarn or fabric to be dyed and before dyeing put into water, allow soaking.

3.    Fill a stainless steel or undamaged enamel pan (dye bath) with enough warm water to freely cover the fabric. In hard water areas adding Calgon at 2g per litre is advisable.

4.    Carefully pre-remix required amount of dye with hot water in a little container and stir until the dye is evenly dissolved, next when your solution is smooth stir into a warm dye bath.

5.    Squeeze out soaked fabric and add to the dye bath too, stir for a while.

6.    Slowly raise the temperature of the dye bath to a very gentle simmer and after 15 minutes add about a glass of vinegar.

7.    Then continue dyeing for another 30 minutes until desired shade is obtained.

8.    Stir the fabric through from time to time using wooden, stainless steel or plastic stirrer. The acid will help to soak the dye onto the fabric; it will then make the water go clear.

9.    When your dye water is almost clear leave everything to cool down. Do not rush.

10.  Finish with a cool rinse, heavy shade may need again some white vinegar.

Safety in use

Care should be taken when handling dyes – rubber gloves and protective clothing should be worn when necessary. Precaution should be taken to avoid accidental ingestion, inhalation, and skin, eye contact. Keep your dyes closed and away from young children, please.
