Cellulose Fibres

Cellulose Fibres are plant-sourced fibres including Abaca paper, bamboo, cotton, Cupro, linen and Tencel.

Although our cellulose yarns (which are all vegan) are prepared for dyeing, they do benefit from an extra scouring step. This helps the dye penetrate better and will give you stronger colours. The procedure is the same whether you are using natural dyes, Procion MX or fibre-reactive dyes. We recommend the following steps:

1. For 1kg of yarn, add 20ml of Synthrapol and 40g of soda ash to a pot with plenty of water.
2. Add the yarn and simmer for 1 hour.
3. Rinse and then proceed as you would normally for dyeing a cellulose fibre.
