Dylon Fabric Dye - Hand Use - Powder Pink

Product Information

For dark background colors, dyeing the fabric red will make the color very dark, while with a lighter background, the red will be more vibrant with a tint of the background color. Hoodies and t-shirts often have prints on them (we discussed this in the patterned fabric section above) so it’s best to test in an inconspicuous area to determine how the fabric, print, and dye is likely to interact. Additionally, follow the care instructions on clothing labels and use appropriate laundry products, such as colour-safe detergents or colour-catching sheets, to help prevent pink stains. Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. If you have other colors in the spectrum, the result won’t turn out very well, although you can adjust the lightness and darkness of your green by adding in white or black to adjust the tint of the blue.

Dab the stain with the white cloth repeatedly, and the dye should keep transferring from your garment onto the white cloth. Dyes, like paints, are composed of pigments, and overdyeing is essentially just mixing pigments, the same way you’d mix paint. To prevent colour run stains, it is advisable to separate laundry by colour and use colour-catching sheets or detergent additives. Go for a green dye by using artichokes, sorrel roots, spinach leaves, Black-eyed Susans, snapdragons, lilac flowers, grass, or yarrow flowers. It’s easy enough to understand that a red shirt in a blue dye bath will result in a purple shirt, but what happens if you’re not starting with a primary color, or when there’s not a clear mix available?If you’re starting with a garment or fabric that has a color already, and you’re trying to arrive at a particular color, you’ll need to do a bit of planning (and potentially testing! The combination of the flowers, combined with lemon juice, will produce a lovely pink dye bath when steeped together in hot water.

Dyes high in tannins, such as tea, pomegranate rinds, onion skins and eucalyptus leaves, tend to hold colour better, whereas dyes made from beetroot or berries fade fast.If your aim is to cover up a stain, be aware that stains take to natural dyes too, and may accentuate the mark. We’ll break down some of the key things to look for when planning an overdye project, but ultimately the biggest trick you can use is to test your color mixing before dyeing your entire garment.
