This 8 oz jar gives you a stable powder that dissolves into a dye bath or stock solution; when the dye bath is acidified with vinegar or citric acid it bonds to the fibres for permanent, wash-fast colour. The self-leveling formula minimizes streaking and encourages consistent coverage for immersion dyeing, yarn dyeing, and fabric painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I mix and apply Jacquard Acid Dye for best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare a hot dye bath and dissolve the powder completely before adding pre-wetted fibres.
