The water needs to be heated once and can cool down during the dyeing process, so that you can dye in a bucket or container. Dyes well on plant fibers like cotton, hemp, linen, rayon, cupra, wood, bamboo and on animal fibers like silk, wool, other animal hair and nylon. Dyes lighter on polyester. For dyeing plant fibers you need salt and it is recommend to use the "Fixing Agent" (sold separately) after dyeing. For dyeing animals fibers you need vinegar, no further fixing necessary.
