Dylon makes several kinds of dyes and most are not reactive, which, as you've figured out, is what you need. The little packets are rather spendy so they work best for smaller projects--something you can do in a bucket is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dye-question-help-please#post-1505683 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 23:26:11 +0000 annagybe 1505683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you read closer, only certain colors need warmer water.&nbsp;</p> <p>But yes apparently some need warmer water</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/fiberreactive.shtml">http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/fiberreactive.shtml</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dye-question-help-please#post-1505680 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 23:04:55 +0000 deb 1505680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always dyed using hot water.

I went to look for dye today because I want to dye a skirt and top that are a bit drab. They are machine wash cold items, made of 55% hemp, 45% tencel, and lyocell. All the dyes I could find require hot water. Is there a cold water dye? Will my clothes shrink if I use the hot water dyes? </p>
