Nylon is a synthetic material which dyes very easily and quickly. Special care must be taken to avoid using too much dye. For one pound of fabric (about 3 yards of medium weight material), use:
* 1 tablespoon Rit Powder dye or 1/4 cup of Rit Liquid dye * 3 gallons of hot water 130° F - 140° F for light and medium colors 150° F - 180° F for dark colors * Dyeing time: 10 - 15 minutes for light and medium colors 20 - 30 minutes for dark colors Important: o To avoid wrinkling, do not exceed a temperature of 180° F when handling synthetics, such as nylon. o Do not place hot fabric directly into cold water. o Avoid using too small a container which will crowd fabric.
Should I use my espresso machine thermometer to test the water temp? ;-)
