Dyeing Tips

Important: this fiber cannot be dyed with acid dyes such as Greener Shades, Ashford, or Jacquard Acid Dyes. Use only Jacquard Procion MX dyes, which are specifically formulated for cellulose fibers such as cotton and bamboo.

For best results, wash your fibers with a detergent such as Synthrapol before dyeing to remove any residues and ensure even color absorption. Then explore our range of dyes to achieve bright, long-lasting results on plant-based fibers.
