Dylon's tie-dye kit is
suitable for use on cotton, linen, viscose and
polyester/cotton mixes.
- Wash and rinse the
article to be dyed, even if new, and leave damp.
- Tie the article using
the rubber bands supplied to achieve the required design.
- Using a jug, add warm
water to the black line (above the word 'water') on each
dye bottle. Replace the cap securely, shake well, until
all the dye at the bottom has been dissolved.
- Wearing rubber gloves,
carefully unscrew the nozzle tip of each bottle and apply
dye to your article. Squeeze each dye colour onto
different areas to achieve the effect you want. Make sure
you open up folds of fabric and squeeze dye into them.
Colours can be mixed by applying one dye over another.
- Place your finished
article in a clean plastic bag, seal the bag and leave to
stand for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Wearing rubber gloves,
remove all the ties by carefully snipping the rubber bands
and rinse the article thoroughly in cold water.
- Machine wash the article
on a 30ºC 'delicates' cycle or hand wash in lukewarm
water. Dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Wash
separately for the first few washes to ensure that excess
dye is removed
