TRADITIONAL METHOD – (known as exhaust dyeing)
1.Weigh fabric – dry weight, then thoroughly wash, rinse and leave damp.
2.Measure 2 litres of tepid water (40°C) for every 100gms of fabric into a bucket or bowl (dye bath).
3.From the table below, take the required amount of dye and Pure Vacuum Dried Salt. Stir into dye bath until fully dissolved.
4.Immerse damp fabric and dye for 30 minutes, moving the material through the liquid every few minutes to ensure even dyeing.
5.Weigh fixer and then pre-mix it in a small quantity of hot water and, when dissolved, stir into dye bath being careful not to pour the concentrated solution directly on to the fabric (i.e. remove first if possible).
6.Continue dyeing for 30 minutes for pastel shades and 45 minutes for deep shades – check for shade required.
7.Remove fabric from dye bath, cool rinse until water runs clear. Finally - very hot wash with Colsperse or
detergent until clear of all unfixed dye. Rinse, dry and iron.

EASY DYE TECHNIQUES – QUICK WAYS WITH COTTON (also for tray dyeing e.g. yarns and skeins etc.)
A quick and easy process producing first class results. For ease of working amounts are based on dyeing 50gms of fabric in 1 litre of water i.e. (for every gm of fabric you will need 20ml of water). Obviously when dyeing larger or smaller amounts the quantities of water, dye, urea, pvd salt and fixer should be increased or decreased proportionately.
Method: (*for black – see separate instructions)
1.Weigh fabric dry weight, then thoroughly wash, rinse and leave damp.
2. Measure 1 litre tepid water (40°c) into a bucket or bowl (dye bath). From the table below add first the amount of dye then the urea and finally pvd salt, dissolving each one before adding the next.
3.Dissolve the required amount of fixer into a small quantity of hot water. When ready to commence dyeing stir into dye bath.
4.Immerse fabric in dye bath. Dye for 15 minutes (pastel shades) and 30 minutes (deep shades), moving the fabric through the liquid every few minutes to ensure even dyeing.
5.When required shade has been achieved, remove fabric from dye bath. Gently squeeze out excess liquid (use gloves). Open out fabric and make into a loose roll. Transfer to a plastic bag being sure to exclude air. Leave for a minimum of 2 hours – preferably 24 hours. Then cold rinse followed by hot soapy washes until clear of unfixed dye. Dry and iron.
