Lime Light

For the traditional reactive dyeing process you will need dye powder, soda ash, urea (opt.), fabric detergent (opt.), dust mask, gloves, safety glasses.  [For the silk microwave process, you will need white vinegar or citric acid crystals in place of soda ash.]  Dye Mixing: For the swatches, we used 2 tsp. Lime Light dye powder to 1/2 cup warm water with 1/2 tsp urea.  You can use less dye powder to get a lighter hue.  Use your own reactive dye procedure or one of the dyeing procedures from the links below.  Happy dyeing!
