How to Prepare Your Fabric for Professional Dyeing

Whether you're sending me 2 metres of linen for a custom interior piece or 10 metres of silk for a fashion collection, here’s how to get the best results from your bespoke fabric dyeing service:

1. Know Your Fibre Content

Different fibres take dye in different ways. I work best with natural fibres like:

• Cotton

• Linen

• Silk

• Wool

• Viscose

However depending on the colour we can dye:

• Nylon

• Elastane/Elastic

Not sure? Book a colour consultation over the phone — I’m happy to advise.

2. Label or Mark Multiple Fabrics

If you’re sending several pieces, pin a label or write on a piece of tape and stick it to the selvage. Let me know:

• Which fabric corresponds to which colour

• Any special requests (gradient, lighter ends, etc.)

This avoids mix-ups and makes the process much smoother.

4. Send a Clear Colour Reference

I dye to match your specific vision — so the clearer your reference, the better the result. You can send:

• A physical fabric swatch

• A printed reference or moodboard

• Anything that is physical

Sadly I cannot accept photos via online, this is because the colour will be inconsistant across different tech and we want to avoid any mishaps!

Need help finalising your colour? Just ask — I’ll let you know what’s achievable based on the fabric and tone.

5. Package Thoughtfully

Make sure your fabric is clean, dry, and neatly folded in a watertight bag before posting. Include:

• Your name and return address

• Any references or swatches
