No. Dyes, mordants and other consumable dyeing materials are consumable products, so we cannot accept returns on opened or partially used items for health and safety reasons.
Start by choosing a dye that suits your fabric. White cotton is a practical first choice for tie-dye or ice-dye projects. Follow the product instructions and the safety guidance in our Learning Center. Natural dyes may require a mordant; choose one based on the dye, fabric, and method. Contact us if you would like help selecting supplies.

The botanical dyes and conventional fiber reactive methods described here are not intended for polyester. Fiber reactive dyes can color cellulose fibers such as cotton, linen, hemp and rayon using the appropriate preparation and activator. Wool and silk need fiber-specific methods; follow the dye supplier’s directions. On blends, the compatible fibers may take color while polyester remains lighter.
