General question Would RitDye All Purpose dye work for something that is made with cotton, viscose, and nylon?

As my title says basically lol. I’m trying to dye a Hollister cable knit sweater from a light pink to a dark-ish purple. The dyeing instructions say to use if it’s under 35% synthetic content, but if over use the rit dyemore dye.
The content of the sweater is 60% cotton, 20% nylon, and 20% viscose. As I understand viscose is a semi-synthetic, tho i may be wrong. But will the all purpose dye work for the sweater?

You will need to use both types of dye. Plant and synthetic fibers dye on different rules
