Fabric guide
Please note that we prefer to dye the following
fibers only
1. Cotton
2. Silk
3. Viscose
4. Rayon
5. Linen
We have no success in dyeing polyester fabrics but there are instances
where the fabric is made up of a mixture of yarns, including polyester,
and in such cases we may be able to achieve some degree of light colour.
Dry Clean or Machine Washable Fabric Advice.
We can overdye printed and multicolour fabrics
to very good effect with the original pattern or print still visible
in the new shade. This works particularly well on materials with a
floral, checked or stripe pattern. If the pattern is in a very dark
shade such as black, we will not be able to dye over this; however
the black printed pattern may look equally effective against the new
colour background. It is extremely difficult to acheive a solid block
colour on these types of fabrics. If the material is 100% cotton it
may be possible to strip the pattern out but a faint outline usually
remains. Darker dyes provide the greatest chance of successful cover-up
in these situations. If the material is of mixed fibres the results
are unpredictable as the different fibres will take the dye to varying
extents. Please be aware that some fabrics such as those with a high
polyester content or wool will not dye satisfactorily. If in any doubt
you are advised to send a sample piece before proceeding.
