Acid Dyes produce the most vibrant colors possible on protein fibers and nylon. These concentrated, powdered, hot water dyes are the best dyes available for silk, wool, cashmere, alpaca, feathers, and nylon. Extremely brilliant and colorfast, these dyes are very easy to use and produce a uniform dye job.

A half ounce bottle will color up to two pounds of fiber depending on the depth of shade.

Immersion Dyeing

 

Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough hot or warm water for the fabric to swim freely, turn on the heat.

 

Add the dye powder to the pot and stir. Normally, in this procedure you would add 2 to 4% of the dry weight of the fabric in dye powder. For example, if you are dyeing 1 pound of fabric, use 1/3 to 2/3 of an ounce of dye.

 

Add the fabric that has been thoroughly wetted to the dye pot.

Raise the temperature to 185 to 200 degrees, just below boiling. Stir frequently.

 

Add ¼ cup of vinegar per pound of fabric. Try not to pour directly onto the fabric.

 

Maintain temperature and stir frequently for ½ hour. Wash in Synthrapol and warm water.

 

Note: If you are dyeing wool, a gradual heating and gradual cooling of the dye bath is important so as not to shock and felt the wool.
