Jacquard iDye Poly Black

Product Information

Consider ‘overdye’.If you want to achieve colors with some fun textures and depth, try creating, say, a purple by dyeing your fabric red first and then blue. This often yields different results than mixing blue and red together and it can be gorgeous. Natural dyeing is a fun option to explore, but it takes longer and requires specialist equipment and mordanting chemicals. Supplies If you are doing a cotton and silk blend and don’t know whether to add the salt or the vinegar you have 3 options: Naturally dyed jeans will have the most varied results. In theory, the walnut dye should be quite permanent, but there are multiple factors at play here, including how fresh the factory dye bath was (these chemicals can impact the natural dye results), what kind of metal is used for the hardware, and whether the jeans have any stains – and that’s in addition to all the other things that can impact a natural dye bath, like the pH of your water and the material your dye pot is made from! Your mileage with your individual jeans may vary. For the best results, choose jeans that have been well-washed (in hot water with a scouring agent, if possible) and that are older and more worn-in because their previous dye treatment will have less of an impact on the natural dye this way.

Most traditional denim is blue but occasionally you’ll find them in different colors. No matter what color your jeans are, the starting color will impact the finished product, even if only a little bit. Most dye instructions and recommended quantities assume you’re starting with a white fabric which will rarely be the case with jeans, so there are a few accommodations you may need to make for your project.

Wash with a bit of hand soap to be sure all of the dye and fixative have been removed. Mordant for plant fibers, a note: Generally, plant fibers are mordanted with a tannin followed by the dyestuff, but our walnut husks are already extremely tannin-rich, so we’re essentially mordanting and dyeing all at once! If you are dyeing silk you will use 1/3 cup of vinegar instead of salt. Do not use the washing machine method for wool because it will felt.PRODUCTS CARRIED: Film Marker, Gum Arabic, Pearl Ex Powdered Pigments, Pearl Ex 32-Color Set, Piñata Alcohol Ink Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough water for the fabric to move freely.Turn heat on high.

Set your machine for the hottest possible water temperature and longest possible wash cycle. If you are able to extend the wash cycle, do so. The longer you are able to allow the fabric to remain in the wash/dye cycle the darker the colour and the better the fixation.

Rit recommends using twice the usual recommended amount of dye for the weight of your fabric, and doubling the recommended time it spends in the dye bath, as well as using the post-dye Color-Stay Dye Fixative. Supplies: Stir constantly for the first half an hour, then frequently for at least 2 hours. After the first 20 minutes, you can turn the heat down. If you like, you can turn off the heat at the end of the two hours and allow the item to sit in the dye for several hours or overnight. Step 6: Soak in color fixative

When the machine has completed the wash cycle allow it to complete the balance of the wash/rinse/spin cycle. Once the dye is dissolved, add the salt and allow it to dissolve and mix thoroughly. You can agitate the washing machine to assist in the dissolving process. Maintain the temperature and stir frequently until the dye is absorbed. You’ll want to pay extra attention to the dye bath (agitating constantly and monitoring the temperature) for the first hour, but after that you can taper off, turning down the heat and stirring less frequently for a few hours. You can turn off the heat and allow it to sit overnight if required. Jeans are quite a mission to stir when they’re wet – the fabric gets stiff and tends to crease, so be sure to pay extra attention to ‘spreading out’ the jeans in the water and making sure they’re submerged. Step 7: Remove your jeans from the pot and rinse Remove your jeans from the pot, allow them to cool, and rinse thoroughly. Then wash with a pH neutral soap.

Most powder dyes are lung irritants. Turn off heat and allow the dye bath to return to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Rinse when cool enough to handle. Wear gloves as residual dye can stain skin. For synthetic fibers, use iDye Poly, which is formulated specifically for polyester, nylon, poly/cotton blends, plastics, and more synthetic options. It can also be used for sublimation transfer techniques and to dye polyester threads used in commercially manufactured garments.
