All animal fibres, such as wool or silk, can be dyed with Dupont Classic H dyes. You will love the intense and resistant colours of your garments or scarves. They are not afraid of light or washing.
When the colour is applied to the fabric, it is diffused until the liquid is used up.
As the dye penetrates the fibre, there is no reverse or front. The colour is uniform throughout the silk. Once the achievement is painted, you can fix the colour in the steamer or in the microwave.
These dyes are used in many techniques, from gouache to batik and saline watercolour.
The range is available in 85 intense shades.
Colours are available in 125ml, if you are interested in 250ml or 1000ml formats, please contact us.
