Helpful Hints

• One pack will dye up to 250g of fabric e.g. one men’s business shirt, 2 ladies small tops, 3 face washers, 2 hand towels or larger amounts to lighter shades.
• Remember to ensure the dye vessel allows free movement of the fabric when dyeing, for larger items in laundry sinks you may need 2 packs of hand dye.
• Using half the sachet will give reduced shades results, e.g. pastel shades.
