Ok today we did some clothing dyes and this is how we did it…
How to use Cold Water Dye on fabric
Wash fabric and leave damp….
1.Fill a bowl with enough cold water to cover item/s
2.Wearing rubber gloves, dissolve dye in 500ml/1 pint of hottest tap water.
3. Add dyed water to bowl.
4.Dissolve 125g/4oz of salt and 1 sachet of Cold Dye Fix in hot tap water, add to bowl.
For Black, use 250g/8oz salt and 2 sachets of fix.
4.Add damp, unfolded item/s, dye for 1 hour (3 hours for Black). Move continually for first 10 minutes then occasionally for remainder of time.
5.Rinse in cold water until it runs clear
6. Wash as usual... and enjoy your new look!!!
We used black dye but dylon do loads of colours.
We will show you what the finished product looks like tomorrow….
