Jacquard "Procion Mx" Fabric Dye Set of 8 includes the following popular fabric dye colours: Lemon Yellow, Brilliant Orange, Fire Engine Red, Fuchsia, Turquoise, Medium Blue, Bright Green, and Jet Black.
Jacquard Procion MX Fabric Dye 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).
