• Versatile Use: The Procion MX Dye excels in a variety of techniques such as tie dye, immersion dyeing, batik, screen printing, direct application, gradation/ombré dyeing, sprinkle dyeing, and ice dyeing.
• Fabric Compatibility: Ideal for coloring cellulosic fibers including cotton, linen, canvas, hemp, jute, ramie, sisal, paper, and rayon. Can also be used with protein fibers when acidified.
• Superior Bonding: As a fiber-reactive dye, Procion MX forms a covalent bond with fibers, making it the most permanent and washfast of all dyestuffs.
• Cold Water Activation: Unlike many dyes that require heat, Procion MX dyes are 'cold water dyes', allowing for convenient use away from the stovetop. Perfect for backyard dyeing, batik, tie-dye, shibori, and more.
• Available in Various Sizes and Colors: Choose from 43 vibrant colors and 3 different sizes (2/3 oz, 8 oz, 1 lb) to fit your dyeing needs.

• Prepare Dye Solution — Wearing gloves, mix the Jacquard Procion MX Deep Purple powder dye with tap water in a plastic or glass container. Use approximately 2/3 oz dye per 1 lb of dry fabric. Stir until fully dissolved. For best results, add a soda ash fixative (sold separately) to the dye bath or pre-treat fabric with it.
• Prepare Fabric & Dye — Pre-wash fabric to remove sizing. For tie-dye or batik, apply the dye solution to dry fabric or pre-soaked fabric treated with soda ash. For immersion dyeing, add the dissolved dye and fixative to a plastic bucket or washing machine with the fabric.
• Allow Dye to Set — For tie-dye and direct application, wrap dyed items in plastic wrap or place in a plastic bag to keep moist for 6-24 hours. For immersion dyeing, allow fabric to soak in the dye bath for 6-24 hours, stirring occasionally for even color.
• Rinse and Wash — Rinse the dyed fabric in cold water until the water runs clear. Then, wash in hot water with a mild detergent to remove excess dye. Dry as usual. The color is permanent and washfast.
