Fiber Reactive Dye Kit
The dye kits contain a 2/3 ounce bottle of each dye color and 1 pound of soda ash.
Fiber-reactive dyes molecularly bond with fabric, creating colorfast and long-lasting shades. They’re used on cellulosic fabrics such as cotton, linen, hemp, rayon and Tencel, and can also be used with wool. Most fiber-reactive shades are classified as low-impact because they meet the requirements of the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, an international textile certification program. To meet this standard, low-impact dyes cannot contain toxic substances, must have an absorption rate in which 70% or more of the dye is absorbed by the fabric and require relatively little rinse water.

    100% Linen Thread

    Sold by the spool

    NEW!  Linen waxed thread made from the finest Egyptian flax. Thread made from flax is similar to cotton but stronger, stiffer, more sunlight resistant, and faster drying. Linen thread does not stretch, it’s very strong and durable, and due to the way the natural fibers are twisted together, it knots very well. Fabrics sewn with linen thread can be laundered at 60° C and ironed on high. 

    Linen thread is available in two sizes: 12/3 (approx. 1mm thick) and 18/3 (0.6mm). 

    Note: The first number is the thickness of the thread. The higher the number, the thinner the thread. For example, our 12/3 thread is thicker than our 18/3 thread. The second number is the number of strands that are twisted together. All of our threads are 3ply.

    • Material: 100% Flax Fiber
    • Color: White, Black
    • 12/3 (1mm) | 127 yards
