DYLON Fabric dye for machine use Instructions
DYLON Machine Dye Instructions
The shade you achieve will depend on 3 things:
1. FABRIC TYPE
Cotton, linen & viscose will dye to full shade
Polyester/cotton & polyester/viscose mixes will dye to lighter shade
Wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabric with special finishes e.g. dry clean only, cannot be dyed
2. FABRIC AMOUNT
One pack will dye up to 600g of fabric (e.g. jeans, bath towel, double sheet) to the full shade & up to 1.2kg of fabric (e.g. double duvet) to lighter shade
Multiple packs will dye larger amounts to full shade, e.g. 2 packs for 1200g (e.g. double duvet) or 4 packs for 2kg (e.g. curtains)
3. ORIGINAL FABRIC COLOUR
You can change one strong colour to another (or dye it to a lighter shade) by using DYLON PRE-DYE which lightens before you dye, ready for colour change.
Otherwise colour mixing rules apply, e.g. blue dye on red fabric gives purple
Patterned fabric will often still show through
