Dylon Hand Dye - Deep Violet

You will need 250g of ordinary table salt (sodium chloride). This is crucial for the dye to fix to the fabric effectively.

No, Dylon Hand Dye is specifically formulated for hand dyeing in a bowl or stainless steel sink. It is not suitable for use in a washing machine.

One 50g pack can dye up to 250g of dry fabric (e.g., one shirt) to the full Deep Violet shade. For larger amounts of fabric, the color will be lighter, or you may need multiple packs.

The final color will be a mix of the Deep Violet dye and the original fabric color. For instance, dyeing a black or dark blue shirt will likely result in a subtle tint or no noticeable change. For best results, use on white or very light-colored natural fabrics.

Yes, Dylon Hand Dye is ideal for delicate fabrics such as wool and silk, providing a strong, permanent color without harshness, unlike some machine dyes. Always follow the instructions carefully.

When applied correctly according to the instructions, Dylon Hand Dye provides a permanent and long-lasting color. To maintain vibrancy, wash dyed items separately or with similar colors for the first few washes and dry away from direct sunlight.

Immediately wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation occurs or persists, seek medical advice. Always wear rubber gloves during the dyeing process to prevent skin contact.

Ensure the fabric was thoroughly washed and damp before dyeing. Stir the fabric continuously for the first 15 minutes and regularly for the remaining 45 minutes to ensure even dye absorption. Also, confirm you used the correct amount of salt and the water temperature was consistent.

Check the weight of your fabric; one pack dyes 250g to full shade. If your fabric was heavier, the color will naturally be lighter. Ensure you used the full 250g of salt as instructed. Verify the water temperature was warm (40°C) and the dyeing time was adhered to.

Verify the fabric composition. This dye is only suitable for natural fabrics like cotton, linen, viscose, wool, and silk. It will not work on pure polyester, acrylic, nylon, or fabrics with special finishes. Also, ensure the salt was added as it is crucial for dye absorption.

Always protect your work area with newspaper or plastic sheeting before starting. For residual stains, try a bleach-based cleaner or a specialist dye remover, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Rinse the sink immediately after emptying the dye solution.

Wash the affected area immediately with plenty of soap and water. If irritation persists or worsens, seek medical attention. Always wear rubber gloves when handling the dye to prevent skin contact.
