FAQs
Do I need to pre-soak the fabric in soda ash?
No, the Tulip One-Step dyes are formulated to activate without a soda ash presoak. Simply add water to the dye bottles.
What type of fabric works best with this kit?
This kit works best with 100% natural fiber fabrics like cotton, rayon, and wool for the most vibrant and lasting results.
How many projects can I make with one kit?
The kit contains enough supplies to create up to 9 projects. The actual number of projects may vary depending on the size of the garment and the amount of dye used.
Are the dyes toxic?
No, the dyes included in the kit are non-toxic.
How long does the dye take to set?
Refer to the included inspiration guide for specific setting times, as they can vary based on the tie-dye technique used and fabric type. Typically, allowing the dye to set for several hours or overnight yields good results.
Will the colors fade after washing?
The dyes are designed to be colorfast and remain bright and bold through repeated washings.
What is the best way to store leftover dye?
Leftover dye mixed with water should be used within 24-48 hours for best results, as the dye solution can degrade over time. Store unused, unmixed dye bottles in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
Colors are not vibrant
Ensure you are using 100% natural fiber fabrics. Confirm that water was added correctly to the dye bottles and they were shaken well. Check that the fabric was not over-rinsed before the initial wash.
Dye did not cover the fabric evenly
Make sure the fabric was adequately saturated with dye and that the dye was applied to all desired areas. Ensure the fabric was not too dry when dye was applied.
Fabric has unintended white spots
Ensure the fabric was tied tightly and securely to prevent dye from reaching all areas. Loosen ties slightly before applying dye to allow for better penetration.
Colors bled during washing
Rinse dyed items thoroughly after the initial dyeing process until water runs clear. Wash dyed items separately for the first few washes.
