Contents:

1 natural playsilk dye kit
* White playsilk pictured is not included

Directions

For one solid colour:

1. Add one cup of warm water to a container.
2. Add one teaspoon of vinegar powder.
3. Empty one dye powder packet in the prepared liquid and mix well.
4. Soak your playsilk in the dye solution and soak for 5 minutes.
5. Hang dry.

When using to dye patterns on playsilks, it is recommended to place paper underneath the playsilk to prevent colour from bleeding through onto the table.

! Because silk is so absorbent, it likes to hold on to colour quite well and the dye will set permanently and will be hard to wash out.
