Finally got some MX dyes!
All pieces prewashed, soda soaked, and hung to dry. Thicker canvas pieces were also ironed.
Printed with strong dye mixtures, double the dye required for fabric painting, with urea (wetting agent) and alginate (thickener).
Hand washed *vigorously* in cold water, warm water with detergent, and hot water with detergent.
Hung to dry…
Pieces are 100% cotton, light and wash fast, permanently bonded colours.
Found an absolutely amazing resource of info for dying fabric… explains EVERYTHING you need to know, including all the different brand names and technical-chemical stuff. Really easy to understand, however lacking in photos.
