Message: What will happen if I use a 50/50 cotton poly shirt to tie dye? The polyester will not dye, but will remain white, while the cotton will take the dye, resulting, usually, in pastel shades. Do not tie-dye with all-purpose dye; use fiber reactive dye, such as Procion MX type dye.Click to see full answer. Likewise, can you tie dye 60 Cotton 40 Polyester?The only dye I recommend for tie-dyeing is a cool water fiber reactive dye, such as Procion dye. 60% cotton sweatshirts will not dye very brightly. You will get pastel colors that are 40% lighter than the usual colors, because the polyester will not take the dye.Secondly, do shirts have to be cotton to tie dye? We also recommend using 100% cotton t-shirts over any other fabrics. Cotton is great at sucking up those colors and holding them in, even after multiple washes. Choosing non-cotton apparel could risk the color fading quickly, or even not sticking at all. Also, this should go without saying, but tie dying IS permanent. Beside above, can you dye polyester and cotton mix? Polyester blend fabrics will be more difficult to dye and results may be more unpredictable than an all-natural fiber, but blends with at least 50 to 60 percent cotton can be dyed with some success. Add the two dyes and color intensifier to the pot, mixing well with a stainless steel spoon.Can you tie dye 100 Cotton?What are the recommended fabrics to use to get the best results when tie-dyeing? We recommend using our tie dye products on fabrics that are 100% natural, such as cotton, rayon and silk. Our dyes are formulated to absorb into the natural fibers, which is why they hold their color so well, washing after washing.
