Wool And Silk Dye

Animal fibre dye

An intense colour range of dyes which will colour any animal fibre. Simply put lukewarm water into a saucepan. Add the colour, fixative, white vinegar and table salt and stir well. Rinse the fabric in lukewarm water, squeeze out excess and while it is still damp put it in the saucepan containing the dye solution. Put the saucepan on a low heat and stir continuously for 5 minutes then increase and slow boil for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave for 10 minutes. Rinse fabric under cold water then wash in soapy water and rinse until clear. Leave to dry on an absorbent surface or iron on reverse side protecting surface with absorbent paper. These dyes, when used in conjunction with the Plant Fibre Dyes are superb when used for double dyeing mixed fibres eg creating two tone work. Simply add the both types of dyes to the pan and the relevant dye will colour the appropriate fibre. Instructions supplied. 250ml.
