What Tintex Can Dye
Tintex Fabric Dye is created for most washable fabrics (example: cotton, linen, silk, nylon, acetate, rayon, wool and viscose). Blends are dyeable if the majority of your fabric is made of a 'suitable fabric' (example: 65% cotton 35% polyester).
Acetate
Rayon
Nylon
Viscose
Amount of Tintex Adjusts Colour
The amount of Tintex needed for any project depends on the fabric content, weight and the desired colour intensity for your project. Use less dye to make pastels and use more dye for darker or brighter colours.
General Fabric Dyeing Tips
Our all-purpose hot water dye is suitable for most washable fabrics: cotton, linen, silk, nylon, acetate, rayon, wool and viscose.
Suitable Fabric
Tintex is not suitable for 100% Acrylic or 100% Polyester fabrics. Dyeing fabric blends is possible; to achieve the best dyeing results at least 40% of the fabric should composed of a suitable dyeing material (blends with higher amounts of acrylic or polyester will dye much lighter).
Pre Dissolve Dye
Completely dissolve dye solution: thoroughly mix dye powder with a cup or two (250ml to 500ml) of very hot water (ex: use a kettle to heat water). Add the pre-dissolved dye solution to your dye bath (ex: bowl, sink, bucket). Avoid uneven dyeing; only add your fabric once all the dye solution is thoroughly mixed.
Agitation Helps Fabric Absorb Dye
For the best results, your prepared material needs to be completely submerged and moving in your dye bath, for the duration of dyeing. Active dying times may vary from 20 - 60 minutes depending on fabric content and/or desired colour intensity.
Rinse Well After Dyeing
Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear, first rinse with warm water (if suitable for your fabric) and then rinse with cool water. After dyeing wash with warm water (if suitable for your fabric) and detergent/laundry soap of choice.
Get Creative
You can use different tools and techniques to create different patterns: try painting stencils, spray/squeeze bottle application, dip-dyeing, or tie dyeing (ex: fold, pleat, swirl or crumple fabric before dyeing) methods.
