Message: hi i want to ask you a question.plz pepaly me at my e-mail address.the question are that how we tie-dye at silk at room tempureture? i'm mean without steam.ok.thanx

Silk can be dyed at room temperature if you use cool water fiber reactive dye, such as Procion MX dye. You cannot use hot water dyes, such as Rit® brand all-purpose dye, at room temperature. You can mail-order Procion MX dyes from most of the dye supply companies listed on my Sources for Dye Supplies page. (Here is a direct link to Procion MX dye at Fiber-art s.com.)

The room temperature recipe for tie-dyeing silk calls for soda ash, in addition to the Procion MX dye, and urea is also helpful, though not essential. The recipe is given on my web site at "How to Tie Dye" and "How to Dye".
