Dye-Lishus Easy Dye 5/2 Cotton Yarn Skein Bundle
This 10 skein (100g each) bundle is ready for the dye kitchen!
E-Z Dye Cotton has been treated allow the fiber to accept dyes more readily than the traditional mercerization using a less caustic method. The treatment is permanent, and can not be removed by washing. The fiber is treated with a fugitive tint so that it can be distinguished from untreated cotton, and must be scoured prior to dyeing.
In the sample (above - shown with the cone of yarn), EZ Dye cotton and white cotton were alternated in both warp and weft. The upper right corner shows the cloth undyed. The pink in the lower right is Procion fiber reactive dye and the blue in the upper left is Cushing's direct dye. The lower left is the pink overdyed with the blue.
In the second example above, a set of napkins tie-dyed with Procion. EZ Dye weft on untreated white warp. Note the white warp remains undyed.
