COLOUR SHADE
The shade will depend on 3 things:
1. FABRIC TYPE:
• Cotton, linen, viscose, will dye to the full shade
• Polyester/cotton & polyester/viscose mixes, will dye to lighter shades
• Wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabrics with special finishes, e.g. ‘dry-clean only’, cannot be dyed
2. FABRIC AMOUNT:
• Up to 500g fabric (e.g. 1 pair jeans) will dye to the full shade
• A maximum of 1kg can be dyed, to lighter shades
3. FABRIC COLOUR:
• Colour mixing rules apply, e.g. black dye on red fabric gives burgundy. Patterned fabric will often still show through
HELPFUL HINTS
• Only dye up to 1kg fabric and always use whole pack, no more, no less
• Dyeing may not cover stains, faded areas or bleach marks
• After dyeing, wash separately for first few washes to remove any excess dye
• Should any dye be left in machine, add cup of household bleach to drum, add usual detergent & run machine empty on 40°C cycle
• Remember polyester stitching will not dye
