Dyeing fabric in a washing machine has never been easier. iDye comes in a packet that dissolves in water which means there is no handling of messy dye powders. Just throw the dye packet in, add salt (or vinegar depending on the fiber type) and run through the wash cycle. It is the ultimate easy way to get gorgeous color!
iDye comes in 38 vibrant colors—30 colors for 100% natural fabrics such as cotton, silk, rayon, wool, and linen, and 8 colors for polyesters and nylons.
Idye natural is a "direct dye." They are easy to use, but bleed more and lack the permanance of the Procion Mx dyes. Wash your finished garment in cold water with like colors. They would be perfect for something that you do not intend to wash often such as an artpiece or theater prop. The colors may start out brighter than the Procion dyes, but will fade more.
For some added help with the bleeding, you can use Retayne at the end of the process. Retayne is a color-fixative that can be used in the machine or in the basin by hand. More info about it can be found toward the bottom of this page
