The shade you achieve will depend on 3 things:

1. FABRIC TYPE: Cotton, linen & viscose will dye to full shade, Polyester/cotton & polyester/viscose mixes will dye to lighter shade, Wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabric with special finishes e.g. ‘dry clean only’, cannot be dyed with Dylon pods
    
2. FABRIC AMOUNT: One pod (350g) will dye up to 600g of fabric (e.g. jeans, bath towel, double sheet) to the full shade & up to 1.2kg of fabric (e.g. double duvet) to lighter shade, Multiple pods will dye larger amounts to full shade, e.g. 2 pods for 1.2 kg (e.g. double duvet) or 3 pods for 1.8 kg. You can up to 5 pods into a single load - but check the maximum capacity of your washing machine first!
    
3. ORIGINAL FABRIC COLOUR: Remember, colour mixing rules apply, e.g. blue dye on red fabric gives purple. Patterned fabric will often still show through. The best results will be achieved on stain-free, clean fabrics. Because stains and bleach marks are not always covered when dyeing and may still be visible.

DIRECTIONS

• First, weigh dry fabric to ensure you have the correct amount of pods (1 x 350g pod will dye 600g  of fabric)
• Once you are ready: Pre-wash your garment / fabric leave them damp in the drum.
• Just peel off lid, put the pod directly into the drum of the washing machine and run 40 C degree celcius cycle.
• Run another 40C cycle with detergent.
• Dry fabric away from direct heat & sunlight

HELPFUL HINTS

• Use ONLY front loading automatic washing machines. Do not use in launderette machines or top-loading machines
• Don't dye more than half machine's maximum load to avoid crowding which will give patchy results.
• Don't use more than five pods of dye at once
• Don't need to add salt or anything with these pods - everything you need is inside the pod!
• Final result may not cover stains, faded areas or bleach marks.
• To ensure no dye is left in machine after dyeing, use a dishwashing tablet (YES - from your dishwasher) & run the machine empty on long cycle.
• Wipe down your washing machine door seal properly before using the machine for a normal load.
• Wash your freshly dyed garments separately or with similar colours for first two washes to remove any excess dye.
• Polyester stitching will not dye. Blended fabric with more than 20% polyester or other sythetic fibres may not take a full shade.
• Avoid dying high percentage of synthetic fibres suck as Goretex, Lycra, Nylon, Polyester, Spandex / Elastene
• Always read the full instructions in pack before use.

Which natural fabrics can I dye?
Generally, natural fabrics are very accommodating to permanent colour. The vast majority can be dyed with great results.

The most common of these are:

• Cotton
• Linen
• Viscose / Rayon / Bamboo
• Denim
• Flax
• Jute
• Ramie
• Canvas

However - certain natural fabrics prefer to be washed by hand (therefore DO NOT use these pods with them). These include the likes of silk, wool, cashmere and mohair. ­­

Which natural / synthetic blends can I dye?
Mixes of natural and synthetic fabrics make up a significant part of textiles today. The most common blends found on clothing and home textile labels include:

• Cotton / Polyester Blend
• Viscose / Polyester Blend
• Linen / Silk Blend

While a great many can be successfully machine dyed, not all blends were created equal. The challenge is how to tell which ones can be dyed and what the results might be. Luckily, this is easy – it comes down to ratios.

This is because synthetic fibres reject domestic dyes so in any blend, it is up to the natural fibres to pick up the colour. The larger the synthetic component, the less dye gets picked up, which results in a lighter (or more diluted) shade. For example, if you want to machine dye a white cardigan navy blue and it is 69% cotton, 19% polyester and 12% viscose, it will work beautifully. The end colour will just be slightly less concentrated than the colour on the pack.

When there is too much synthetic fibre in a blend, however, the dye becomes ineffective. For this reason, DYLON recommends not dyeing any fabric in which the synthetic element is greater than 20%. Everything else – from trousers to curtains to throws – is up for grabs and can produce wonderful results.
