How much dye will I need?

The approximate quantities of dye required will depend on the dry weight of the fibre and the shade strength required.

Here's our quick start, 1 pot, 1 colour method:

1. Thoroughly dissolve the required amount of dye powder in enough hot water to make a dye solution.
2. Add this dye solution to the dye bath & stir.
3. Add citric acid or white vinegar
4. Add the pre soaked fibre
5. Raise the temperature slowly
6. Simmer for 20 minutes
7. Allow to cool before rinsing
8. Spin or hang dry.

The dyes are safe to use providing a few basic safety in use rules are observed.
