Dye Tipbit

Fibre Reactive Dyes - for cellulose fibres like cotton, rayon, tencel, bamboo, linen - also silk Cibacron F - use these dyes at 75 to 105 degrees, and up to 120 degrees for better penetration on a high twist silk Procion MX dyes - are a great cold water dye. At temperatures above 110 degrees Farenheit the dyes react with the water faster than they do the fibres, resulting in weaker, lighter shades and an uneven dyebath. Sharon
