Handdyeing is also possible, including for silk. Good light fastness. Instructions for use: A. Instructions for machine dyeing Weigh textile precisely and determine the amount of dye accordingly. Soak the textile in cold water for about 10 minutes. Place the dye and the reactive agent directly from the package into the washing machine drum. Pour 1 kg salt over the dye and the reactive agent to ensure that these are fully covered by the salt. Place the dripping wet textile on the salt. Set a 60°C programme without pre-wash and start immediately. Do not use any gentle or economy cycles. Select the highest permitted temperature for mixed textiles, but at least 40°C. After the programme has finished, leave the dyed textile in the machine and wash at the highest permitted temperature with a colour-preserving gentle detergent. When used according to the instructions, FashionColor will leave no residue in the machine. B. Instructions for hand dyeing For 150 g fabric: 1 package FashionColor (1 sachet dye, 2 sachets reactive agent) 3 Tbsp salt on 1 l water 5.5 l water, 60° C 1 large stainless pot. If the amount of fabric is doubled, all quantities have to be doubled accordingly. Soak the textile in cold water for about 10 minutes. Dissolve the reactive agent in 0.5 l of water in a separate container, set aside. Stir salt and dye into 5.5 l of water at 60°C and dissolve. Place the dripping wet fabric into the dye bath (dye liquor) and move in the liquor for about 2-3 minutes. Now stir the dissolved reactive agent into the dye liquor, ensuring not to pour the reactive agent directly onto the fabric. Dye for 30 minutes at 60°C. Move the textile constantly, ensuring that it is always covered by the dye liquor. Rinse the dyed fabric thoroughly and then wash with a mild detergent at 60°C. The remaining dye liquor can be poured directly down the drain.
