Dylon

How to use Dylon fabric dye

Dylon All-In-1 pods are designed to be used in the washing machine — no separate salt is needed — making them ideal for dyeing larger items like jeans, curtains or bed linen. Hand dyes suit smaller items and touch-ups. For best results, weigh your dry fabric, choose the right amount of dye, and follow the pack instructions. Dylon works best on natural fabrics such as cotton, linen and viscose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need salt with Dylon pods?

No — the All-In-1 machine pods already include what's needed, so you just add the pod and fabric to the machine. Some hand dyes do require added salt; check the pack.

What fabrics can I dye?

Dylon works best on natural fibres like cotton, linen and viscose. It's less effective on polyester and other synthetics, and won't dye items labelled "dry clean only".

How much dye do I need?

It depends on the dry weight of your fabric and the depth of colour you want. The pack gives guidance — using more dye relative to fabric gives a deeper shade.
