Dylon Machine Dye for use in automatic front loading washing machines. Gives permanent colour to cotton, linen and viscose with lighter shades on polyester/cotton. NOT suitable for pure synthetic fabrics.
One pack of Machine Dye will dye 600g of dry weight fabric to the colour indicated on the pack. Dyeing larger amounts of fabric (up to 1200g) will result in a lighter colour. Also note that dyeing already coloured fabrics will result in the original colour mixing with the dye colour (e.g. red dye on yellow fabric = orange).
Ideal for dyeing larger items such as jeans, towels, bedding and curtains.
Other items you will need: 500g of ordinary salt, rubber gloves. Click any order code for further details, or download a product sheet.
NOTE - For smaller or delicate items, we have the same colours available in Hand Dye.
