Easy to use soluble dye packets. For polyester and nylon fabrics. Dyes 2 to 3 pounds of fabric (1-1.3 kg.)
CAUTION:
Keep out of reach of children.
Avoid inhalation and contact with eyes.
Which iDye?
- for 100% natural fabrics use iDye
- for 100% polyester & nylon use iDye Poly
- for polyester blends use iDye and the corresponding color of iDye Poly
For best results:
- Read entire instructions before beginning
- Use the stove top method for iDye Poly and polyester blends
- Use constant agitation for uniform color
Not all synthetic fibers are created equal. Results will vary depending on type of fabric. Polyester is hard to dye and requires very high water temperature to achieve good color. Therefore we only recommend dyeing polyester with the stovetop method. Note: utensils and pot for dyeing should not be used for food.
Note: Instructions below are for achieving the most vibrant color. For lighter shades, dissolve dye packet in small container with hot water. Add dissolved dye to the dyebath in the appropriate amount to achieve desired shade. Keep in mind that color will deepen the longer the fabric is in the dyebath.
STOVE TOP METHOD FOR 100% POLYESTER AND NYLON:
- Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely. Turn heat on high.
- Add the iDye Poly soluble dye packet and iDye Color Intensifier to water and stir until dissolved.
- Add pre-wetted garments or fabric and bring to a rolling boil. Maintain temperature and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform color use constant agitation.
- Wash the garment with a mild detergent and dry.
STOVE TOP METHOD FOR POLYESTER AND NYLON BLENDS WITH NATURAL FIBERS:
- Choose iDye Poly color closest to the iDye for natural fabrics you are dyeing and add both packets to dye bath.
- Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely. Turn on to high heat.
- Add iDye Poly, iDye Color Intensifier, and iDye to the water and stir until dissolved.
- Add garments/fabric and bring to a boil.
- Add 1 C./237 ml. of non-iodized salt for cotton, linen and rayon or ? C./78 ml. of white vinegar for silk. Avoid pouring directly onto fabric.
- Maintain a rolling boil and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform color use constant agitation.
- Gradually cool the fabric and wash with a mild detergent and dry.
