Fabric Dyeing
STSC work with a selection of Indian fabric dyers who can assist us in bringing your bespoke colours to life.
These include a range of AZO Free DTM dyeing and Eco Plant Dyeing services. These services require a $340 AUD set up fee which includes liaising between clients and our specialised printers and dyers, print testing and colour sampling, to strike off and sample dye through to bulk print or dye set up processes.
Timelines
1-2 months once swatch colours/ lab dip dye colours have been approved.
Please allow 3-4 weeks for the mill to create lab dips of your desired colours, (shipping included in timeframe).
Delays due to the ever-changing COVID situation in India are accounted for in these timelines.
Overall pleas allow 3 months for fabric dyeing with STSC.
Natural Fabric Dyeing
India
Natural plant dyeing for natural fabrics such as Organic Cotton, Organic Peace Silks, Lenzing™ Ecovero™ and Speciality blends including Banana/ Organic Cotton and Plant Cashmere.
These natural plant dyes do not take on Lenzing™ Modal™ and Lenzing™ Tencel™ fibres.
Swatch Cards are available for purchase. However swatch cards & codes are available below that have been matched to Pantones for your convenience. Please note as the colours are derived from natural plants they will look slightly softer and lighter on fabrics. Naturally dyed silks will create a more vibrant colour.
Prices are determined by fabric weight. See individual textile Price Lists for our core range of fabrics.
