DIRECTIONS:

 

1. Weigh dry fabric. Wash thoroughly. Leave damp

 

2. Using rubber gloves, dissolve dye in 500ml warm water

 

3. Fill bowl/stainless steel sink with approx 6 litres warm water (40oC) (NB we do not recommend a bath and dye may stain some plastic containers)

6.  Submerge fabric unfolded in water

 

7.  Stir for 15 mins, then stir regularly for 45 mins

 

8.  Rinse fabric in cold water until water runs clear then wash separately in warm water.

10. Wash separately for first few washes to remove any excess dye.
