Where can I obtain the ingredients for fabric dyeing in Australia?


Name: Bronwyn
Message: I live in Australia and find your site very informative. Where can I obtain the ingredients for fabric dyeing? Dharma Trading USA does not deal with Australia, but I know they have everything one needs.

Although one of my favorite US dye companies, PRO Chemical & Dye, does ship internationally, there is almost never any need for you to order from the US, because there are also excellent supply houses in Australia. Scroll down to the last section of my Sources for Dyeing Supplies page to find links to four Australian companies: Batik Oetoro, Kraftkolour, Silksational, and The Thread Studio. Most of these suppliers sell cool-water fiber reactive dye, either Procion MX or Drimarene K or both. You will also find many other dyeing auxiliaries and dyeing supplies if you browse on their web sites. Unless you are lucky enough to live very close to one of these, you will still have to purchase by mail order, but shipping charges and shipping time will probably be considerably less than when you order from overseas.

The only one of these Australian companies I've dealt with, since I am in the US, is Batik Oetoro. They sell an excellent range of products.
