Professional-Quality Dyes
Unlike craft store alternatives, our tie and dye kit features genuine fiber-reactive dyes – the same professional-grade pigments used by textile artists worldwide. These dyes create a permanent chemical bond with natural fibers, resulting in vibrant colors that resist fading even after repeated washing. Each color is formulated to maintain its brilliance over time without bleeding or transferring.
Our dyes are:
- Highly concentrated (each color treats up to 15 adult t-shirts)
- Mixable to create unlimited custom shades
- Non-toxic and safe for home use when handled according to instructions
- Certified to meet international safety standards for textile dyes
Fabric Compatibility
Our dyes work exceptionally well on natural plant-based fibers, with optimal results on:
- 100% Cotton (clothing, canvas bags, bedding)
- Linen and hemp fabrics
- Rayon and modal
- Natural fiber blends containing at least 70% natural fibers
For animal-based natural fibers like silk and wool, the kit includes special instructions for temperature modification to achieve beautiful results. While not ideal for synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon, the kit includes tips for creating interesting effects on synthetic blends.

- Custom clothing (t-shirts, sweatshirts, socks, bandanas)
