Cold Water Dyeing info

This cold water fiber reactive MX dye is known the world over. Use it for immersion dyeing, tie dye, batik, airbrush, garment dyeing, screen printing, spatter painting, gradation dyeing and more! This is the only dye you can fix without using heat in some form. A cold water, concentrated dye, which you add to tap water, this is the most vivid of all dyes for cellulose fibers. Procion dyes are permanent, colorfast and very washable. You can easily create a palette of colors ranging from light pastels to deep, vibrant hues.

Typically a 2/3 oz bottle will dye more than 1 pound of fabric. Very bright colors will require more dye; pastel colors will require less. A 2/3 oz bottle uses 2 cups regular salt in the mix, then after dyeing, add 1/4 cup of soda ash (in water) to set the dye.

Jacquard packages many of their products in the same size jars, approximately 2" high. Some are liquids, some powders. Procion is a powder, and fills the jar less than half way depending on the color. You are still getting a NEW FULL jar, however.
