KREUL JAVANA Tie-Dye, Black Beauty 70g

Kreul JAVANA powder textile dye in a black shade is used for hand-dyeing and reviving fabrics. It is suitable for natural materials such as cotton, linen, silk or wool, as well as polyamide. The package already contains fixing salt, so there is no need to add anything else. The dyeing process takes place at a temperature of 50 to 95°C. Thanks to its vegan formula and easy-to-dose bottle, you can experiment with various techniques, such as wax batik or shibori.

Creative Techniques with JAVANA Dye

Kreul JAVANA dye is suitable for creative projects. You can use it for the traditional Japanese technique of shibori, which creates patterns by folding and tying the fabric. It is also suitable for wax batik, where wax protects parts of the fabric from being dyed. The powder form allows for easy dosing and mixing. It is also suitable for dip-dye or tie-dye techniques.

How to Achieve the Desired Shade

The intensity of the final black shade depends on the ratio of dye to the weight of the dry fabric. To achieve a rich and deep tone, use the entire contents of the 70g bottle for approximately 200 grams of textile. If you prefer a medium-deep shade, the same amount of dye is sufficient for 400 grams of fabric. The dye is supplied in a resealable bottle, which allows for easy dosing and storage of unused powder.

Materials and Simple Dyeing Process

This dye is intended for natural fibres and some synthetic materials. It is suitable for silk, cotton, viscose, linen, half-linen, and also for wool or polyamide. The dyeing process is straightforward as the package already contains fixing salt, which ensures the colourfastness of the dye. Simply immerse the fabric in a hot water bath with the dissolved dye. After dyeing, wash the textiles separately at a temperature of up to 40°C to maintain their new colour.
