ARE THEY PAINTS OR DYES ?!
In short they are dyes that you paint on. Our tie dye kits are made of completely non toxic ingredients with eco friendly, professional textile grade, fabric colour pigments. Unlike paints our dyes soak into the fibres of the material they don't sit on top. You wet your material with plain water first, and as our dyes are water based they are carried deep into the fibres of the material through the dampness of the cloth. Unlike most other powdered type kits online which require gloves, dust masks and pre soaking in soda ash as fixative. Our dyes are safe and easy for young kids (supervision still a must!). The colours once fixed with the sun and a quick heat fix from a hot iron for good measure, are completely colourfast and provide vivid colourful results. We recommend for longevity of brightness that you wash your tie dyed items inside out in cold water with mild detergent. But once set it's not going to run out and stain any other clothes in your wash if you forget, so you can safely throw in the wash with everything else.

(we may be sleeping in the middle of the night but will get back to you as soon as we're awake!)
WHICH SIZE KIT WILL I NEED?
This depends a lot on the thickness of the material you will be dyeing. As a rough guide, 100ml of ready to apply dye will do an average size adult t-shirt. A bed sheet would require around 500ml of dye. As the dye is painted onto wet material with a brush, rather than used for dipping or soaking, this makes the dye go a lot further than the squeeze bottle technique you might have come across before. You can also dilute the dyes down with up to 30% more water than is instructed on the label instructions, however this will make your colours turn out as softer pastel tones.
Most of our kits are shipped in a thick concentrated form. This means the water part has been left out so it lasts longer on the shelf and makes postage more affordable for large orders. Usually we have provided the right size bottle for your convenience so all you need to do is top up the bottle with the water part and mix well before use! Or just mix to the desired shade in your own containers as you need.

First rinse in warm water, 12 hours after dyeing. No colour comes out and no dye ends up down the drain!
|
First 2 washes in warm soapy water some slight discolouration of water. However no dye will transfer to other clothes in the wash!
