will natural cotton fiber or synthetic nylon take the PROsperse dye?
If so, I thought I might throw in a few random small items with the dress. Nylon will take disperse dye, but cotton will not. The disperse dye may stain the cotton, but it should be mostly gone after a couple of washings. It will, however, dye the thread at the seams, since most cotton garments are sewn together with polyester thread. I recommend that you attempt to dye only materials made of synthetic fibers with your ProSperse disperse dye, including nylon, polyester, acetate, and acrylic. I’d love to see you try this, because I’m very interested in what the mylar will do when you dye it, and whether or not my predictions hold true.
