About this deal

The best fabric dyeing procedure depends on the project, fabric, and choice of fabric dye. For example, if you want a more fully saturated result, Jacquard Acid Dyes on silk, wool, linen, or cotton can yield the best results. Or, if you have a tie-dye project in mind, a kit with individual application bottles helps you achieve the look you want. For the best dye job, always choose a fabric dye designed with your fabric type in mind and follow the instructions on the box.

Procion MX dye is the most commonly used reactive dyes on the market and typically the best dye choice for cotton and other cellulose fibers. Jacquard’s product is well known among seasoned fabric and textile dyers to be among the best and easiest to find. When it comes to dyeing cellulose, Procion MX is the go-to choice for durable colorfast dyes that are vibrant in color.Cellulose fibers are typically those made from plant matter and include cotton, linen, rayon, hemp, ramie, lyocell (Tencel), bamboo, and pineapple plant fiber. Other methods like batik and tie-dyeing provide you with more artist designs with multiple colors and patterns. Finally, methods like washing machine dying provide a more set-and-forget approach. Color Fastness of Dyes If you are going to attempt to overdye navy blue, I would still avoid those which have any purple hints within the navy (a sign there is some red present) and the colour could turn muddy. I also suggest that you may need to go through the process twice since you can’t judge the colour when the fabric is wet as it is so dark. How to Cool Down Orange Related: Fabric Dyeing Techniques – 12 Different Ways How to choose the right dye color when overdyeing:

Dyeing your fabric a different color works just like mixing paint: yellow and blue make green, orange and purple make red, etc. So, if you have a yellow fabric and want to turn it green, don’t use green dye; use blue dye instead! The term ‘over dyeing’ can mean two things; the first one is simply applying multiple layers of colors to create a depth or infusion of colors. And the next one, or the one we are talking about here, is coloring an already-dyed fabric. Prepare your dye solution by first filling up your pot with water, about 3/4 of the pot, or until the water is enough for the fabric to be totally submerged. Then, pour 1 teaspoon of dish soap into the water. This will help reduce the surface tension of the liquid and allow the dye to penetrate the fabric. In the first picture, the dyebath was not strong enough to overcome the orange. It was a nice dark coral but still warm.

Tips for overdyeing t-shirts, hoodies, and jeans:

You probably learned something about color mixing in school – red and blue make purple, yellow and blue make green, and the difference between primary and secondary colors. Dyes, like paints, are composed of pigments, and overdyeing is essentially just mixing pigments, the same way you’d mix paint. Prepare the color remover solution by filling up a stainless steel pot ¾ of the way with water, or until the water is enough to cover your fabric. Heat up the water until it starts to generate small bubbles, then lower the heat to simmer (don’t boil the water).
