Jacquard Procion 4 color set w/soda ash

Procion MX dyes are “cold water dyes†that are fixed chemically instead of with heat. This unique property sets Procion MX apart from all other dyes and establishes them as the undisputed king of backyard dyeing, batik and tie dye. Because Procion MX dyes can be used away from the stovetop, they are also the ideal colors for shibori, ice dyeing, tub and low water immersion dyeing, printing, direct painting and other “alternative†dye applications. As a fiber-reactive dye, Procion MX forms a strong covalent bond with cellulosic fibers, making it the most permanent and washfast of all dyestuffs. Procion MX dyes are typically used with a soda ash fixative, which can be added directly to the dye bath or used to pretreat the fabric as in tie dyeing and other “batch setting†techniques. TECHNIQUES : tie dye, immersion dyeing, batik, screen printing, direct application, gradation/ombrÃฉ dyeing, sprinkle dyeing, ice dyeing and more.
