And yes, this piece was also 100% cotton. You could do these with any natural fibers, yep.
You could also do the disperse process on dyeable synthetics like nylon and rayon and acetate with a compound called Thiourea Dioxide, but it's pretty toxic so you'd want a respirator and gloves and ventilation for that!

Disperse dyes are a kind of dye that adds color to polyester and other synthetic fibers. The term that I think you want here is DISCHARGE.
Discharging, discharge dyeing or stripping the color removes or changes the color. Discharge differs from bleaching where the desired end is bright white.

Argh! Thank you for pointing out my mixup, i've edited the post.
It never fails that i mix up the two terms, despite the fact that i work with both processes on a regular basis. It's just one of those mental blocks, due i suppose to the similarity of having the same prefix.

evn tho i don't work with these materials, generally...

What type of fabric was that? I'm assuming this is a natural-fibers-only sort of project?
