Craft County Synthetic RIT Dye + ColorStay Fixative Bundle — Polyester & Acrylic Kit for Vivid, Long-Lasting Colour

Craft County Synthetic RIT Dye paired with a ColorStay Fixative gives long-lasting, vivid colour to synthetic fabrics while reducing bleeding and fading.

If you want brilliant, reliable colour on polyester, acrylic, acetate or blends with over 35% synthetic fibres, this bundle supplies both the dye and a finishing fixative. The kit is made for hobbyists, wardrobe refashions, DIY upholstery refreshes, costume makers and wig stylists who need predictable results on materials that don’t accept ordinary dyes.

How does this dye work on synthetic fabrics?

Synthetic RIT Dye is formulated to bond with fibres that are often resistant to standard dyes. It penetrates polyester and similar fibres when combined with hot water and the right application method, producing brighter, more even colour than generic dye options.

• Designed specifically for polyester, acrylic, acetate and blends over 35% synthetics
• Requires hot water and proper agitation for best absorption
• Delivers bold, uniform shades on typically hard-to-dye textiles

What does the ColorStay Fixative do and when should I use it?

ColorStay Fixative is a post-dye solution that helps lock pigment into fabric, lessening bleeding and improving wash-fastness. Apply it after the dyeing process or immediately after tie-dye to protect white areas and reduce colour transfer during laundering.

• Minimizes fading and bleeding between washes
• Easy to apply — follow package directions after dyeing
• Ideal for preserving contrast in multi-colour projects and tie-dye

What supplies and steps will I need to get a great result?

You only need a few household items and a clear process: hot water, a plastic container or stainless-steel sink, and agitation or a washing machine for even coverage. Precise temperature and timing vary by fabric weight and shade intensity, so test on a scrap if possible.

• Hot water source (stove-top or large kettle) for proper dye uptake
• Plastic tub or stainless-steel sink to contain dye baths safely
• Washing machine or hand-agitation to rinse and set dye before fixative

Which projects are best suited for this dye + fixative bundle?

This combination works for a wide range of creative and repair tasks where synthetic fibres dominate. Use it for reviving furniture upholstery, customizing activewear, refreshing costumes and wigs, or tie-dyeing polyester-based garments with better control over colour migration.

• Furniture and upholstery with synthetic blends
• Activewear, swimwear and costume fabrics containing synthetics
• Wigs, trims and synthetic craft materials

Who this is for: Makers, repairers and crafters who need dependable colour on synthetic textiles and want a straightforward way to protect their results. If you regularly dye polyester-rich materials and want brighter, longer-lasting colour with reduced bleeding, this bundle gives both the targeted dye formula and a post-dye fixative to help maintain the look you create.
