where can I find DYLON COLD dyes in Spain?Hello. I really need to get some DYLON COLD dyes in Spain. Do you
have/know any contact address that sells this products in
Spain?
Dylon Cold Water dye contains a form of fiber reactive dye. You will get extremely similar results with other fiber reactive dyes, such as Procion MX, Cibacron F, or Drimarene K type dyes. Use sodium carbonate to fix all of these dyes, including Dylon Cold dye, if you are dyeing cotton, rayon, linen, or any other plant fiber; you can use sodium carbonate to fix these dyes on silk, as well. It is unclear whether some or all of the Dylon Cold Water line actually contains Procion MX dyes, or instead another similar dye class such as Cibacron F or Drimarene K - Dylon's website used to say that it contains fiber reactive dye "like" Procion MX dye - but we do know that you will find that Procion MX dyes can be used in exactly the same ways, with the same recipes, as Dylon Cold Water dye. Procion MX dyes work in the coolest temperature range of all of the fiber reactive dyes dyes, 21 degrees C. or above. ("Cold water dye" cannot be used with chilled water, and must be allowed to react at 21 degrees C. or above, and actually prefers 36 degrees C.) The only fiber reactive dye source I specifically know about in Spain is Tobasign, which sells Remazol type dyes which can be fixed chemically, at room temperature, by use of a product they call TobaFix. Tobasign ships dye and dye auxiliaries, not only within Spain, but also internationally. However, there are other good mail-order sources of fiber reactive dyes in Europe, as well. Companies in Europe that will ship internationally include Quilt Et Textilkunst and Quilt & Art in Germany, and Zijdelings in the Netherlands, all of which sell Procion MX type dyes. See my page of Sources for Dye Supplies to get contact information for these and other dye retailers, in Europe and worldwide. The retailers listed on that page are grouped according to continent.
