Jacquard Permanent Textile Colour Quart Jar — Ruby Red, Heat-Set Permanent Fabric Paint with Soft Hand

Jacquard Permanent Textile Colour in Ruby Red is a concentrated, heat-settable fabric paint available in a quart jar for bold, lasting colour on natural and synthetic textiles.

This quart of Ruby Red from Jacquard is designed for makers who need a steady supply of deep, permanent pigment for clothing, accessories, home textiles, and craft projects. Formulated to bond to fibres and survive repeated washing when heat-set, the paint balances long-lasting colour with a soft hand so finished pieces remain comfortable to wear. The semi-transparent formula is easy to control, blends with additives, and cleans up with water before it dries.

How durable is the colour on garments and washable items?

When properly heat-set, Ruby Red is engineered to resist chipping, cracking, and flaking through normal wear and laundering. It adheres to both natural and synthetic fibres, so you can refresh jeans, tees, bags, and more without losing vibrancy.

• Heat-set with an iron or tumble dry on the hottest setting for best permanence
• Formulated to withstand multiple washes without significant fading
• Works on porous and extruded fabrics including outdoor textiles

Will the paint leave fabric stiff or uncomfortable?

Jacquard tuned this formula to preserve softness while providing durable coverage, so garments remain comfortable after application. The paint is concentrated but not gummy, keeping the textile’s natural drape intact when used correctly.

• Soft hand retained after curing for wearable results
• Apply thin layers or dilute slightly for more flexible coverage
• Suitable for garments, shoes, and bags where comfort and feel matter

What surfaces and techniques can I use Ruby Red on?

Ruby Red is versatile enough for a wide range of textile projects: everything from cotton t-shirts to polyester blends, denim, canvas, and decorative home fabrics. It also accepts mixing and thinning for techniques like washes, gradients, and screen printing.

• Use on natural and synthetic fibres, stretch fabrics, and porous surfaces
• Mix with Jacquard Colourless Fabric Medium or up to 25% water to adjust transparency
• Compatible with brushwork, screen printing, stamps, and stencils

How easy is cleanup and mixing with other colours?

Cleanup is simple: wet paint washes away with soap and water before it dries, making it friendly for workshops and projects with kids. The colour is semi-transparent straight from the jar, allowing controlled blending and layering for custom shades.

• Wash brushes and tools before paint dries for effortless cleanup
• Blend with other Jacquard colours to expand your palette
• Dilute up to 25% with water or use Colourless Fabric Medium without changing texture

Who this is for: This quart of Jacquard Ruby Red is ideal for professional textile artists, small-batch apparel makers, costume designers, and serious hobbyists who need consistent, long-lasting colour in larger quantities. If you work with a variety of fabrics, run workshops, or create wearable goods that require durability plus a soft finish, this formulation gives you a dependable base for vivid, permanent results.
