Color Magnet™ is a dye attractant that magically attracts more dye where it is applied. Use it in combination with most types of Jacquard dye. The more diluted the dye, the greater the contrast. For best results we recommend the immersion dyeing method. Color Magnet™ doesn't stiffen fabric, so the two-toned result is perfectly soft.

Because Color Magnet™ concentrates dyes into sharp lines, it is much harder to discharge or "bleach" out than a normal dyed fabric.  I show here how I can make a reverse tie dye on a shirt without interfering with the Color Magnet design I had made beforehand.  This is another method to get the background of your design very white, while still having dark Color Magnet™ lines.
