Rit ColorStay is formulated to set dye after the colouring process so pigments stay where you put them instead of migrating or washing out. It's a convenient, rinse-and-go solution designed for use on cotton, linen, rayon, ramie and blends containing those fibres, and it works on both home-dyed and commercially dyed items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Rit ColorStay help my tie-dye and dip-dye projects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse ColorStay right after you remove excess dye to prevent colours from running into adjacent white or light areas.
