Tips and Tricks

Always wash textiles dyed with Easy Color separately by hand with color-preserving mild detergent at max. 30° C. Frequent washing leads to a decrease in color intensity. Fixing agent improves the washability, but does not guarantee absolute wash fastness.

How it is done:

Before dyeing, the kimono should first be washed without fabric softener to remove the finish. Allow the kimono to dry and then crumple it up.
Tie tightly with the string.
Then pour boiling water into the large bowl and add Easy Color and a little salt. The quantity ratio should be observed: For an intense coloration for 150 g of fabric use about 3-5 liters of water. For every 1 liter of water, 1 tablespoon of salt should also be added. The tied kimono is first moistened a little and then placed in the dye bath. The fabric should remain in the dye bath for min. 20 minutes and be moved constantly.
After 20 minutes, remove the kimono from the dye bath and rinse under running water until the water remains clear. Then remove the yarn and let dry.
