Marabu Easy Color batikovací barva - ultramarine 25 g

Dye for batik and hand dyeing. For cotton, linen, silk, viscose, and blended fabrics (max. 20% synthetic fibers) and rice paper. Can be hand washed up to 30 °C. A packet (25g) is sufficient for intense dyeing of 150g of fabric. Not suitable for hot washing. Very good lightfastness. Suitable for children as well. Original colors can only be achieved on white textiles; colored textiles will create a shade mixed with the base color. Dyeing process: 1. For intense dyeing, pour 3-5 liters of boiling water into a large stainless steel container (bowl, bucket) so that the fabric can move freely. For medium to light shades (max. 300g of fabric), use 7 liters of water. 2. Add the contents of the packet and dissolve. 3. Add 1 tablespoon of kitchen salt for each liter of water and dissolve. For silk, it is also necessary to add 50 ml of household vinegar. 4. Moisten the fabric with lukewarm water, lightly wring it out. 5. Place the fabric into the dye bath; for wax batik, let the temperature drop to 40-50°C. 6. Dye for at least 20 minutes while constantly moving the fabric. 7. After each dyeing cycle, rinse the dyed fabric in cold water until the water runs clear. Silk must cool down slowly before rinsing.
