If the area in which you live has hard water (calcium and other minerals can interfere with your dyeing process) you can easily avoid the problem by using our Water Softener (pure Sodium Hexametaphosphate - also known as Metaphos). About 1 cup per washing machine load or 1/4 teaspoon per 8 oz. dye solution should do the trick. This Water Softener works better than products like Calgon (polycarboxylate) which inhibits dye from transferring to and adhering to fabric for some reason.

We have really hard water, and this additive made a huge difference in how well my yarn took the dyes. The colors were even and brilliant.

The water softener made the reed accept the dye much better. I was very impressed with the improvement in my color.

Does what it is supposed to, but if you think about the concept (water softener), then shouldn't it be used at every step where water is used in the tie dye process? Large quantities might be the way to go to help fight the "cost" monster!

I didn't use this the first time I tie-dyed. I think it helped get better colors this time.
