If you are looking to Buy Haberdashery to revive items of clothing or homeware then look no further. Here at Calico Laine we stock the very best Dylon products for this purpose. Dylon have come a long way since the beginning of there time in 1946. The company was initially founded by two young entrepreneurs, Luca Purbeck and Peter Samuel who began selling dyes from a garage in central London. The name dylon is an acronym for 'dyes of London.' Dylon thrived during post war britain and their continuous popularity throughout the 60's and onwards propelled them to go global, selling dyes worldwide to over 70 countries. Stars such as Grace Kelly and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen helped to raise the profile of Dylon promoting a make do and mend approach which is now more popular than ever due to a rise in throw away fashion. Dylon dyes work on the premise that the fabric which you are dying has a fair amount of natural fibre in it. The less natural fibre there is the lighter the dye take will appear, so a 100% cotton shirt would absorb the colour much better than a polyester and cotton mix. If you are looking to Buy Haberdashery that will help you to get an even colour coverage, here at Calico Laine we stock a Dylon pre-dye. Dylon pre-dye is ideal if you want to remove the current colour of your garment and apply a lighter colour. 1 box of this pre-dye covers up to 2.5 kg of fabric which is the equivalent of 5 lots of the machine dyes, so it goes a long way. It is made to use in a front loading washing machine. Dylon hand fabric dyes are ideal for smaller items and come in a beautiful range of 24 colours. It is important to remember that salt will need to be added to the wash in order to fix the dye so it doesn't wash out. Quantities and simple instructions are all explained clearly on the packaging of each product. Dylon machine dyes are the best product for items with more weight to them and to ensure an even coverage. These come in 25 beautiful colours and they now have salt already included to fix the dye making them easier to ever to use. The dyes will not damage your washing machine but if you are at all concerned that dye may linger simply put on an empty rinse afterwards. If you are looking to Buy Haberdashery in order to create patterns or designs on fabric, Dylon also have a range of fabric pens (both markers and packs of fine tips), fabric paints, 3D and glitter liners which are all suitable for this purpose.
