Is it possible to dye organza and crepe?Name: Pam
Message: Is it possible to dye organza and crepe? What category would they come under - polyester or nylon? I would like them dyed from cream to gunmetal grey. What dye would you recommend. This is a great site - thankyou. I cannot recommend a dye without knowing the fiber content. Silk organza and silk crêpe are extremely easy to dye with silk dye or with fiber reactive dye. Polyester organza and polyester crêpe cannot be dyed except with disperse dye (see "Dyeing Polyester with Disperse Dyes"; the same is true of acetate and acrylic. Nylon organza and nylon crêpe can be dyed with acid dyes, as can wool crêpe; see "Dyes for Protein Fibers". Posted: Monday - February 21, 2005 at 08:46 PM
