Generally, you should use 2 to 4% of the dry weight of the fabric in acid dye powder.
Here's a breakdown:
- Dye Percentage: Aim for 2-4% dye powder based on the dry fabric weight.
- Example: If you're dyeing 1 pound of fabric, use approximately 1/3 to 2/3 of an ounce of dye. This range allows for variations in desired color depth and the specific dye's concentration.
