Jacquard Procion MX Fabric Dyes is a “cold water dye” that is fixed chemically, not with heat like other dyes. This unique property sets Procion MX apart from other dyes and establishes it as the undisputed king of backyard dyeing, batik and tie dye.

Because Procion MX dyes can be used away from the stovetop, they are also the ideal colours for shibori, ice dyeing, tub and low water immersion dyeing, printing, direct painting and other “alternative” dye applications. As a fiber-reactive dye, Jacquard Procion MX forms a strong covalent bond with cellulosic fibers, making it the most permanent and wash-fast of all dyes. Mix the concentrated dye powder with tap water to create the most vibrant colours possible for cotton, linen and other plant-based fabrics (may also be used with protein fibers if acidified). Procion MX dyes are typically used with a soda ash fixative, which can be added directly to the dye bath or used to pretreat the fabric as in tie dyeing and other “batch setting” techniques.

Typically, one 18.7g bottle will dye over 450g of dry fabric (very bright colours will require more dye and pastel colours will require less).

Now Stocking 43 Colours of Jacquard Dye

Are you a tie-dye, screen printing, or other form of textile artist? Do you have a beautiful batik pattern in mind but are worried about the wax resist melting in the dyeing process? Then at Knitting Co., we have an exciting product to tell you about. Jacquard Procion Fabric dyes have a unique formula which means they are cold water dyes and fix chemically, so no heat is required. That means no more dyeing on the stove and worrying about burning yourself as you move the fabric around the dye bath. This also means they are the perfect choice for an ice dyeing experiment, or direct painting and printing projects. They can be used on plant-based fabrics, such as cotton and linen, and also protein fibres if acidified. Just one bottle of Jacquard dye will colour over 450g of dry fabric, depending on how vibrant you want the colour to be. Pastel colours require less dye so you may find one bottle goes even further for pastel projects.

To use, simply mix the dye powder with tap water to watch the bold colours come to life. These vivid colours make them the logical choice for tie dyeing. These dyes are best used with a soda ash fixant. You can treat the fabric with these prior to dying or add them straight to the dye bath depending on the process you're using. There's hardly anything they can't do.

We sell 43 colour options of the Jacquard Procion MX dye set, from ‘fire engine red' to ‘bubble gum', so whatever your project we have the colour for you.
