Message: Hi, I am hoping that you can suggest a solution to my problem.  I have a large quantity of white polyester fiber (as is used for pillow fill etc) which I want to dye green, as I am unable to find a supplier who sells green poly fiber.  Can you suggest a dye that I might be able to use?  I reside in Australia.

The only kind of dye that will work on polyester is called Disperse Dye. You cannot use dye that is intended for other fibers, such as all-purpose dye.

In Australia, you can mail-order Disperse dye under the brand name Polysol from the dye supplier Batik Oetoro (see contact info listed on my Sources for Dyeing Supplies Around the World page). You will also need to order a carrier chemical, which they call Polysol Carrier, and you will need a very large, non-aluminum cooking pot, which is not to be used in the future for preparing food. Since they do not sell a pre-mixed green disperse dye, buy blue and yellow dye and mix them together.
