Screen Printing Supplies at Fibrecrafts

The range of screen printing supplies have been increased to include the Selectasine screen printing system.

This system is simple, economic and flexible in use. It produces a soft finish and has outstanding fastness on fabric. Although designed for screen printing, it can also be brushed, sprayed and blocked. This self-mix premium ink is ideal for use in schools and colleges where budget is a factor and also for experienced printers who will enjoy the flexibility of the system, find out more...!

Now we have it...

make the most of it! The glorious sunshine we've been having is perfect for experimenting with Heliographic printing.

This decorative technique is simple and effective. It depends on direct light from the sun or a bright artificial light to fix the colour in the exposed areas - leaving the dye to vanish from the shaded areas!


Enjoy sitting in the sun waiting for the magical reversed-print transformation, your children will love it too. For best results, use Pébéo Setacolor Soleil fabric paints which work effectively for this method. Find out more...

Dispersed Dyes and Paints

With such a diverse range of textile related products we often wonder what happens to them and how they are used once they leave FIBRECRAFTS for homes, workshops and classrooms.

We try to offer you first-hand advice and usage instructions for all the products and most of them have been used or experimented with by the staff. But just how many different ways can you apply paints and dyes? And who are we to tell you how to use them!

The Embroidery magazine gives us some clues. Their feature 'Transfer Printing on Textiles' from the January/February issue names us as a supplier for transfer paint and disperse dyes and ideas of how to use them are also offered.

We're delighted to see the samples of printed work by designers Barbara Massey and Helen Rogers. Their fine work certainly shows the potential of the transfer paints.

The outstanding publication, Embroidery is available through the Embroiderers' Guild web site and features articles and reviews on the textile arts.
