The Jacquard iDye Poly in Lilac is designed for crafters and creators looking to achieve vibrant, permanent color on synthetic materials, offering a mess-free dyeing experience. Its key benefit is its ability to color materials that standard dyes cannot, like polyester and nylon. A potential caveat is that it works best on 100% synthetics, and blending with natural fibers may result in a two-tone effect rather than uniform color.

No, iDye Poly is specifically formulated for synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. It will not effectively dye natural fibers such as cotton, silk, or linen.
One 14g packet of iDye Poly is sufficient to dye up to 1.3 kg (approximately 2.8 lbs) of dry fabric or equivalent weight of other materials.
The color intensifier is a chemical component that works in conjunction with the dye to promote deeper, more uniform color saturation on synthetic materials.
It is not recommended to mix iDye Poly with other types of Jacquard dyes (like iDye for natural fibers) as they are formulated for different fiber types and may not be compatible.
To achieve a two-tone effect, use iDye Poly on a fabric blend that contains polyester or nylon along with a natural fiber (e.g., poly-cotton). The dye will only bond to the synthetic component, leaving the natural fiber its original color.
Yes, when applied correctly according to the instructions, iDye Poly creates a permanent color that should not wash out.
iDye Poly is designed for stovetop dyeing in a pot to control temperature and ensure proper saturation. It is not recommended for use in a standard washing machine.
Ensure the material is 100% synthetic (polyester or nylon). Check that the water reached simmering temperature and the dye bath was maintained for at least 30 minutes. Make sure the dissolvable packet was fully dissolved before adding items.
Ensure the material was thoroughly pre-washed to remove any sizing or finishes. Stir the items frequently during the dyeing process to prevent them from settling or sticking together. Ensure the dye bath is large enough for the items to move freely.
Extend the simmering time. Use a second packet of dye for larger items or deeper shades. Ensure the correct amount of water was used relative to the fabric weight (1 packet per 1.3 kg dry fabric).
The simmering temperature may be too high for certain plastics. Test a small, inconspicuous area first or use a slightly lower temperature if possible. Some plastics are not suitable for high-heat dyeing.
