Wash and Dye Velvet Black

Black will always have an air of classic, chic sophistication. Coco Chanel was captivated by the mysterious allure of black; Jackie O loved to wear it; Audrey Hepburn understood its timeless charm. Black can create the perfect silhouette; it can be bold just as it can be comforting; perfect for evenings out and days at the office. So why not bring faded blacks back with renewed intensity or turn a colourful little frock into the perfect little black dress. With Velvet Black, your blacks will be at their best, rich, intense and profoundly dark.

DYLON Wash & Dye Instructions

DIRECTIONS

1. Wearing rubber gloves, empty Wash & Dye powder into washing machine drum & add dry fabric

2. Immediately run 40°C cotton cycle without pre-wash or economy setting

3. Add normal washing detergent and run 40°C cotton cycle to remove excess dye from fabric

4. Remove fabric and run final 40°C cycle with washing detergent to clean machine

5. Dry fabric as normal, away from direct sunlight & heat

COLOUR SHADE

The shade will depend on 3 things:

1. FABRIC TYPE:

• Cotton, linen, viscose, will dye to the full shade

• Polyester/cotton & polyester/viscose mixes, will dye to a shade lighter than this

• Wool, silk, polyester, acrylic, nylon & fabrics with special finishes, e.g. ‘dry-clean only’, cannot be dyed

2. FABRIC AMOUNT:

• Up to 500g fabric (e.g. 1 pair jeans) will dye to the full shade

• A maximum of 1kg can be dyed, to a lighter shade

3. FABRIC COLOUR:

• Colour mixing rules apply, e.g. black dye on red fabric gives burgundy. Patterned fabric will often still show through

HELPFUL HINTS

• Only dye up to 1kg fabric and always use whole pack, no more, no less

• Dyeing may not cover stains, faded areas or bleach marks

• After dyeing, wash separately for first few washes to remove any excess dye

• Should any dye be left in machine, add cup of household bleach to drum, add usual detergent & run machine empty on 40°C cycle

• Remember polyester stitching will not dye

Our promise: This dye won’t damage your machine or affect subsequent washes
