MARABU EASY COLOUR 25g RICH GREEN
Batik and hand dyes for cotton, linen, silk, viscose and mixed fabrics (max. 20 % man-made fibres) and rice paper. Handwashable up to 30 °C. Not suitable for hot wash. Very good light fastness. Instructions for use: For all hand dyeing and blocking techniques, e.g. wax batik, tying and folding technique (plangi), sewing technique (tritik) and devorĂ© dyeing (so-called dual-colour technique). One sachet (25 g) provides intensive colours on 150 g of fabric. Medium to subtle shades can be achieved on fabric volumes up to 300 g. The original colours can only be achieved on white textiles, coloured textiles will produce a mixed shade with the base colour. See secondary dyeing table. Dyeing process: 1. For intensive dyeing, pour 3-5 l of boiling water into a large, stainless container (bowl, bucket) to ensure that the fabric can move freely. For medium to delicate shades (max. 300 g of fabric) use 7 l of water. 2. Add contents of the sachet and dissolve. 3. Add 1 Tbsp of table salt for each litre of water and dissolve. 50 ml of household vinegar also have to be added for silk. 4. Moisten fabric with lukewarm water, squeeze lightly. 5. Place the fabric into the dye liquor; for wax batik let the temperature reduce to 40-50°C. 6. Dye for at least 20 minutes, constantly moving the fabric. 7. Rinse the dyed fabric in cold water until the water runs clear after every dye cycle. Silk has to cool down slowly before rinsing. The dye liquor can be stored in a clean, sealed container for several days; it should be reheated to at least 40°C before dyeing, though. The higher the temperature the more intensive the colour.
