Please take into consideration when ordering.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis commercial product increases the washfastness, wetfastness, resistance to perspiration staining, and resistance to seawater fading. Works with several (but not all) kinds of dye and any natural fabric or blend. Reduces bleeding of improperly fixed or improperly washed out dye jobs. Particularly valuable to quilters when bought fabrics are bleeding or when new clothing is bleeding all over. This product can often \"fix\" these loose dyes to prevent color bleeding in the future. Test if possible, because it doesn't work on all dyes. Works on most dyes for cotton and other plant fibers, like Fiber Reactive Dye (see next paragraph), Direct Dyes, \"All Purpose\" dyes and also sometimes helps Leveling class Acid Dyes to be more fast on silk. Does NOT work on Basic Dyes, like Jacquard's Basic Dyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also use this product to add washfastness to your own dyeing or to get darker colors. Works great with Dharma Fiber Reactive\/Procion dyes in this manner, especially as an after soak when dyeing black, for example. (NOT a substitute for normal fixative, Soda Ash, etc., rather an enhancement.) Use it after draining the dye bath, but before rinsing and washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all solid colored fabrics, use 1 oz per lb. of fabric in a HOT soak for 30 minutes to help fix the \"fugitive\" dye, then, for complete safety, wash after with HOT water and Synthrapol to get out any remaining unfixed dye. Any fading you get at that point is dye that would have come off anyway and gotten all over. But if you don't want further fading, wash in cold water and Synthrapol, and cold water for the life of the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo increase washfastness, resistance to perspiration and seawater in multicolored items like tie-dyes, batiks, etc, you do have to wash out the excess dye first, with your normal rinsing and HOT water wash with Synthrapol detergent, which keeps the colors from staining each other and\/or the white areas. After this, just add 1 oz. of Dharma Dye Fixative per lb. of fabric to new COOL water rinse, soak for 15 minutes, then rinse and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1111849","offers":[{"title":"4 oz.","offer_id":50242479194425,"sku":"DDF-4oz","price":2.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 oz.","offer_id":50242479227193,"sku":"DDF-16oz","price":7.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32 oz.","offer_id":50242479259961,"sku":"DDF-32oz","price":13.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon","offer_id":50242479292729,"sku":"DDF-1gal","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/7228\/5753\/files\/ddf-101.jpg?v=1765385605"},{"product_id":"alter-ego-dyes-fixative","title":"Alter Ego Dyes Fixative","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with the Alter Ego Dyes,\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(230, 76, 76);\"\u003e this Fixative is absolutely necessary to set the dye on the fabric\u003c\/span\u003e.

Gathered and ground in much the same ways, the fallen, yellowed leaves from the Symplocos cochinchinensis imparts a lighter shade of yellow along with a higher percentage of naturally occurring alum. In addition to having the useful and bio-friendly way to bypass the use of a more highly processed or synthetic option there have been some interesting colors achieved through experimentation; Logwood yielding brilliant blues, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural dye giant, Michel Garcia, has teamed with the gifted Sara Goodman and Threads of Life founder William Ingram to help get the word out about this wonderful product, but the real story is of rain forest conservation and the support of the indigenous peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreviously in Indonesia, traditional ikat dyers using the bark of the Morinda for their remarkable red dyes would also make use of the bark of the Symplocos tree.
