Not all synthetic fibres are created equal. Results will vary depending on type of fabric. Polyester is hard to dye and requires very high water temperature to achieve good colour. Therefore we only recommend dyeing polyester with the stovetop method. Note: utensils and pot for dyeing should not be used for food.
Note: Instructions below are for achieving the most vibrant colour. For lighter shades, dissolve dye packet in small container with hot water. Add dissolved dye to the dye bath in the appropriate amount to achieve desired shade. Keep in mind that colour will deepen the longer the fabric is in the dye bath.
