I think it needed a sealling treatment after that as the design softened a bit when I washed the material. - the link to the dye guru looks very informative.Audrey ♥2008-11-13T03:10:54ZRe: Iodine in salt makes no difference in fiber-reactive dyeingyadda yaddahttp://CraftyVixens.tribe.net/thread/af9df43d-7cff-4a61-a3dc-1c6dd2a5e926#b9ba316e-7660-4f94-89e2-a993aeed00d72008-11-13T01:47:46Z2008-11-13T01:47:46ZI've used both iodized and plain salt without iodine.

Paula Burch is a chemist and a dye guru. Another cool forum (a list, really,) is The Dyer's List. Paula has a link to this on her site, or you could Google it. I remember that for fiber-reactive dyes (MX-type), according to Doug Wilson on The Dyer's List, the answer is "no," it doesn't make any difference whatsoever.Jeau ۞2008-11-12T15:47:51ZRe: Iodine in salt...Cathttp://CraftyVixens.tribe.net/thread/af9df43d-7cff-4a61-a3dc-1c6dd2a5e926#b21786a9-4609-48a7-92d4-5dabb6e22a162008-11-12T07:29:29Z2008-11-12T07:29:29ZI have no idea, but you can buy non-iodized salt in the supermarket. Also sea salt in the 1 pound container.Cat2008-11-12T07:29:29ZRe: Iodine in salt...Rhiannonhttp://CraftyVixens.tribe.net/thread/af9df43d-7cff-4a61-a3dc-1c6dd2a5e926#39444cdb-c56b-480a-8ab3-271364cd8b802008-11-11T20:15:21Z2008-11-11T20:15:21Z(Hmm, this post seems to have decided to submit itself before I had the chance to thank all you lovely people for sharing your experiences and tips!
