Easy Color
Description
The ideal Marabu product for batik and dyeing work for school, hobby and leisure use. For the dyeing of all fabrics from cotton, linen, silk, viscose, blended-fibre wovens up to a maximum of 20 % synthetic content and Japan paper. Very easy to use. Very good fading resistance. Wash fabrics first to remove dressing. Pack contents are sufficient for intense dyeing of 150 gms of fabric. Medium to light colour will be achieved using 300 gms weight fabric. Contents of the dye bath can be used over a number of days, but must be re-heated before each new dyeing operation. Marabu-EasyColor dyes are not boil-resistant and will lighten on succesive washings. To raise the washing-resistance fixing medium must be used.
Working Guidelines
For all hand dyeing and resist techniques such as wax batik, tie-dyeing and pleating (Plangi), needle techniques (Tritik) as well as Devoré Dyeings ("two-dyeings technique"). Pack contents (25 gms) are sufficient for intense dyeing of 150 gms of fabric. Medium to light colour will be achieved using 300 gms weight fabric with good light fastness.
The original colour shades can only be achieved on white textiles; for coloured fabrics a mixture with the basic shade will result.
