Jacquard Acid Dyes – High-Concentration Hot-Water Dyes for Silk, Wool, Feathers & Nylon

Jacquard Acid Dyes are renowned for their vibrant, uniform and wash-fast colour performance on protein fibres and nylon. These powdered dyes are designed for immersion dyeing in hot water; they "exhaust" well (meaning most of the dye goes into the fibre) and resist bleeding or fading with washing. Despite the “acid dye” label, the only acid needed is a household acid like white vinegar or citric acid.

Benefits

  • Premium dye brand recognised for rich, durable colour results on luxury fibres.

  • Versatile use: immersion dyeing, brush/paint applications, printing; giving creatives broad flexibility.

  • Ideal for professional textile artists or makers working with high-end materials and requiring consistent quality.

Perfect For:

  • Silk painting, woollen yarn dyeing, custom garments, theatre/costume design.

  • Feathers, fur or nylon accessories requiring bold, permanent dye.

  • Print studios or craft workshops that need reliable performance for teaching or production.

  • Highly concentrated powder formula providing level, uniform colour across silk, wool, nylon and other protein-based fibres.
  • Can be used for immersion dyeing or direct application (painting/printing) followed by steam setting where needed.
  • Available in many colours and sizes (e.g., 14 g jars) with colour-mixing opportunities.
  • Exceptional wash- and light-fastness when properly applied and fixed.

  1. Confirm fibre type is suitable (silk, wool, nylon or similar protein fibre). Avoid using on cotton/linen unless a protein fibre component is present.
  2. Pre-wash fabric/yarn to remove sizing or finishes.
  3. Measure dye quantity according to fabric weight and desired depth of colour (manufacturer guidance recommended).
  4. Use hot water bath and add vinegar or citric acid to activate fixation. For painting/printing, use a thickener or ensure steam-setting as per instructions.
  5. Rinse until water runs clear then wash with mild detergent. Avoid harsh agitation on wool to prevent felting.
  6. Store leftover jars sealed and away from direct sunlight and moisture.
