Thanks for teaching this technique. You added the salt and you washed it in how water with cold water afterwards. I've never heard of that. Wonderful!!!
I really wish she had added those type of details, as a newbie Its good knowledge to know exact temps for these kind of things (because they obviously matter)
stove top to get it that hot? and how are we supposed to know how much the fabric weighs? It doesn't register on my weight or cooking scale. First time doing this (for a halloween costume) so I want to get it right
Thank you for the informative video. I had to wade through about six "I've never dyed anything before, but I'm going to make an instructional video anyway" versions, so I appreciate the professionalism. And don't worry about the vocal fry. Everything about language changes, including the way people produce sound, and the vocal fry is one of those changes, now widespread among young western women. Since forever, old people have complained about changes in speech, so don't pay us any mind.
Thank you so much! I was so scared to do it at home and it actually looks easy:) I just have a question: if i wanna dye a pink romper black, will it transfer after i complete all the steps? As in when i wear it, will it stain my skin or bag?
Thank you so much for your tutorial. I accidentaly dropped some bleach on a pair of gray pants and ruined them. Do you think that could be fixed? The pants are quite new and I like them. I don't want to throw them away. Thank you.
+Simona Grigoruta The bleach may have damaged the fabric, in which case it wouldn't dye properly, but it might be worth a shot. First, reduce the overall color with Rit Color Remover (www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm), then you can go ahead and dye it. Good luck!

I'm planning to dye a thin hoodie with a very solid, saturated wine tone. Any tips on how I can achieve that color WITHOUT getting a tie-dye effect? I'm looking to get a solid color.
I'm dying my grandson's little chair covexcept the personalization on it is white is there anything I can do to keep it white or do I just have to go with whatever color I'm using and it's just gonna die that
This is very helpful! What I would do different is use hot water and boil it with salt then let the fabric soak in there for 20 minutes before soaking it in a pot with hot fabric dye water with a mordant such as alum powder. Afterwards I would let the fabric soak in the dye water mix for 24 hours while occasionally stirring it and putting it on the stove to heat it up to a boil then taking it off the heat again so it can cool naturally. I would probably do this over the course of 3 days to a week depending on the amount of fabric I dyed. Afterwards I would probably take out the fabric, rinse it out a bit by hand and then into the washing machine on cold.
Hi, I love using RIT thanks for the info. I am trying to dye a nylon spandex blend. I have used RIT before and it 90% of the time turns out perfectly. However, this time I am trying to find a green that is bright and vibrant without looking neon. Like a beautiful emerald. I assuming that I will need to combine colors. Any advice?
+Paul McArthur On Rit's site, they have a color library or you can even request a custom formula, so I would suggest checking that out for the best advice. www.ritstudio.com/color-library
It depends on several factors. We suggest asking the people at Rit dye because they will be able to give you the best answer: www.ritstudio.com/color-library/ask-the-dye-doctor/
Clicked on this video cause I thought you were going to show us how to dye clothes by cooking them with fabric dye (powder texture) and a vinegar. I don't want a dye that fades away after every wash. A lot of comments here on something called Vocal Fry and how's she annoying and your ears hurt, poor baby. (I Googled it, it's the Kim K. accent) You learn something everyday. Thanks anyway.
Tencel/Lyocell is similar in content to rayon, which is dyeable, so it may work, but we're not positive. The water should be very hot--near boiling if possible.
It could work depending on the fabric. We are going to be starting a dye series (the first video is being posted tomorrow) and we will be talking about dying things black so stay tuned!
You should! Best of luck to you!! Check out our other tutorials as well, we have clothing alteration videos that have been an absolute game changer for me when it comes to thrifting.
Yes, the beige may make the blue a little more muted than if you were dyeing white fabric, but it should still work as long as the fabric is cotton or another natural fiber. Another thing to take into consideration is the water needs to be very hot, so it's possible the coat may shrink somewhat. If it's dry clean only, we don't recommend dyeing it. Also make sure you use a large container with plenty of water so you can move the coat around constantly so it dyes evenly.
Hi. I wonder if I can do this technique with a White Chef Jacket. so, I have a couple brand new white color chef jackets, and i just got a new job where they required to use black color chef jackets only. So, I've never in my life use black jackets before and i don't want to spend more money on jackets (since i have like 20 white jackets total). My question is: I have 2 new jackets and fabric says: 75% polyester 25% cotton. So. I'd like to know if i can do this method shown in this video??? Thank you so much for the help.
You can use Rit DyeMore which works on synthetic fibers like polyester. You can find our tutorial here: www.onlinefabricstore.com/makersmill/rit-dyemore-synthetic-fiber-dye/
can you dye something that has already been dyed?? I have this new tan canvas jacket I bought and I washed some new jeans with it and the indigo bleed in streaks onto it. Is there anything I can do, and would just redyeing it black or a dark color work to cover up the blue?
Yes! In fact, you can use Rit Color Remover first which will get rid of as much color as possible. Then dye it whatever color you want! You can find this product here: www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm
That fabric bag has been thoroughly baptized into that new color. This demonstration helps to understand the spiritual reality of the baptism described in Romans 6:2-4. Thank you.

Hi!! So I dyed two pairs of nylon sweatpants from grey to black. They are turning out nicely. However, I am afraid that the dye may bleach other clothes when put in the washer/ dryer with them. Do You think I will eventually be able to wash/dry the sweatpants with other clothes in the washer and dryer at some point? Or always keep separate from now on?
I would continue to keep them separate at least for a while. I would always keep them separate from lights but after a while you can probably wash them with darks. If you want to test it, you can throw an old rag in there and see if it bleeds on to it.
It depends on how much you are washing your garment. I would say at least a few years before you started to see fading and at that point you can re dye the garment!
Nice video and good products! I love dyeing clothes! Does anyone know how to prevent some parts of the clothes from dyeing the new color? Any material in particular? I mean, if you want to keep some parts in their original color and want to use immersion dyeing, how can you protect them? Or is it not possible? Thanks a lot! Love to everyone💖
you'll probably never read this but thanks for the tutorial, I have a nice looking BLACK denim jacket now :) i never would have though to add salt but the jacket looks great. cheers.
This is awesome I thought it had to be boiling hot which sucked coz could only die one item if this is accurate I could die a few 1 after the other which would be alot cheaper :) thankyou
Handsome & intelligent; a great combination. I could tell you are a great designer as well. And so brave, to have that dye so close to your lovely table top and sharp ensemble.
U R undereducated; of course it's possible for anyone to be handsome, most especially, an attractive female. You need to escape your literary bigotry and limited capacity for word knowledge.
The Skoan it’s definitely possible! My grandfather’s old hoodie faded to an almost white color, so I had to dye it back to its original color. It’ll take more dye, though. The technique she uses is tried and true, and practical.
i have a question i want to dye a nike tech flecee that had acid damage but just in collor it doesnt have any holes (its gray tech) my question is if i dye it in black will the acid stains be visible
I have a navy blue canvas backpack and its colour has been faded out. Do you think this product will work? Moreover, my backpack has brown leather straps. Is that problem?
This will work with any other colors too, right? I'm looking to dye white into a military green colored shirt. Also, if there is a piece on the fabric that I'd like to preserve, is there any way to protect it? Something I could use to cover it during the process?
This will work with any color! And I would say it totally depends, does the part that you want to preserve. Is it a decal? If so, Rit all purpose will not dye synthetic materials, so you would be fine there. But if you are using Rit Dye More, it would probably dye the material.
I used this product to dye Cotton fabric for my son's costume. I followed all of the instructions. I washed the fabric in hot water and then dried the fabric in the dryer in order to get the fabric preshrunk before making the costume. I then place the fabric back into the dryer on rinse cycle to pre-wet the fabric. I had the fabric in a pot sitting on the stove with a dye mixed 3 powder packs of black to 6 cups of water. I got the water to a low simmer. I added 3 tablespoons of liquid detergent. and 3 cups of salt per the instructions found on the inside of the powder box. I let the fabric sit in the so called dye bath for an hour while stirring occasionally. Upon removing the fabric, I rinsed the fabric in cold water until there was no more black coming out of the fabric. I then washed the fabric. Not only did the fabric come out grey, the dye was uneven as well. So I thought I try again for a longer period of time. I added 3 additional Black Powder packs to the already black water I used on the previous attempt. I let the fabric sit in the so called dye bath for 28 hours prior to going to work. I also let it sit overnight and finally the next day after work. Please note I stirred the fabric once an hour while I was at home and not asleep. Finally, I rinsed again until the fabric no longer had black coming out. Again, the fabric came out a darker shade of grey and uneven still. O.K. I tryed the process a third time leaving the fabric in 72 hours. I turned the stove on a light simmer while I was home, stirred occasionally. The same results. This product not only wasted my time and money, I am upon a time crunch now because the occasion for his costume debut in in a few days. I ran all over the Charlotte Metropolitan area buying out all of the Rit Dye from the Walmart, Joann Fabric, and Hancock Fabric stores. People were asking me, "why are you buying so much dye". I told them that I was without a choice because the product did not deliver what is claimed to do. I asked the people at the fabric store," am I doing something wrong"? They all told me, " from their experience I was properly using the dye". I consulted the all knowing web and TH-cam videos. I have followed the process everyone uses. I have aIso found others who have experienced my problem. I am hoping the audience will appreciate the natural look of the uneven, Dark Grey costume which is supposed to be Black because everyone is aware of the character's clothing choice from the story line. Please understand the fabric used was cotton, I followed the box's instructions, attempted the dye process 3 times for a total of 101 hours in the dye bath. I my eyes Rit Dye Products are a rip off. I am now consulting Dharma Trading for their techniques and dye in hopes I will get the desired results.
+Kenneth Terry I'm sorry, I didn't see your comment because it was marked as spam for some reason. That's odd, you are doing it correctly! I know you said it's cotton. Are you sure it's not a cotton/polyester blend? That's the only thing I can think of. I've used Rit dye many times and it's come out as expected, but I don't doubt what you're saying! Black can be difficult. Another option is fiber reactive dye, which works differently from Rit. www.onlinefabricstore.net/dylon-permanent-fabric-dye-velvet-black-.htm I realize it's too late now, but thought I'd mention it.

Thank you for this excellent video and instructions. I bought a beautiful green wrap dress online but when the dress arrived the green was not as bright as I saw on the website. Also it doesn't really suit my olive toned skin. I was thinking of dyeing it black. The dress is 95% Cotton and 5% spandex and it is Forrest Green. Can I use the Rit Dye to make it black? Also why do you add salt to the dye? please advise. with regards Tilla
+OnlineFabricStore.net Thank you very much for the quick reply and the extra information. I will follow your instructions and keep my fingers crossed all the way through the process. I hope lady luck is on my side for this project, otherwise there goes a $100 dollar dress :)
Hi Shelby, the amount of water and dye depends on the amount you are dyeing. You want enough water in order for the fabric to move freely. If the fabric bunches up too much, it won't dye evenly. It should be very hot water, the hotter the better!
I'm going to be using Rit Liquid dye to dye cotton 3 strand rope in a variety of sizes (6mm up to 32mm) Can I reuse the dye for example the day after dying my rope? Could you reheat it? Or do I have to throw it away? Thank you
It's best to start with a new batch. Even though it looks like there's still a lot of dye in the water after dyeing something, the results of using it the second time would most likely come out lighter.
I've got a pair or navy blue, cotton trousers that have a bleach stain on them. Should I totally bleach them and then dye or can I dye them right away. I wouldn't want to end up with a patchy pair of trousers (again). Great video by the way. :)
Bleach sometimes damages the fibers and may not dye properly. We suggest using Rit Color Remover (www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm) instead of bleach to get them as light as possible, then redye. Here's what Rit says about it: www.ritdye.com/faq/why-are-faded-areas-bleach-spots-and-sun-fade-still-there-after-dyeing/
I dyed a bunch of stained clothes white over a year ago (originally white), and now some of them have turned a light yellow-pink color. Oxidized? Only a few of them have remained white. Why is that? Would dyeing them again make them white again?
If I go through this process and dye my clothes, then after the initial wash is it really susceptible to color bleeding when I wash it in the future w/ regular laundry?
Just to clarify... does it matter what color my material is? Like in this example she uses a white bag but if she used a yellow bag would the outcome still be blue or would it become green?
It would most likely be green. Dying is an experiment and will come out different every time, but a good general rule of thumb is that it will blend with the existing color.
I would like to try dying a white comforter to a light shade of blue, somewhere between 00DDFF and 8EF1FF, but I dont know if its a good idea or how well it would work. I tried my hardest to find a comforter that is already near the shades, but people just dont like to manufacture anything fabric in that kind of color. The only site where I was able to find a comforter that was in a nice shade that I like, I dont know if I trust. I had never heard of it before, and the only videos on TH-cam for the company are from their own channel, and dont have many views.
i don’t know if you’re still replying to comments, but i have a dress i wore to homecoming that’s royal purple and feels like felt or suede(???) i want to dye it black and try to cut/hem a slit for my leg so i can rewear it to prom in may. do you think it’ll work? i’m scared to try because it was a really expensive dress and i don’t want to ruin it. thank you!!!
It's worth a shot! I don't see why not. Suede is a synthetic material, so you are going to want to use RIT Dye More and REALLY hot water. In terms of the order of things, I would dye the material and then tackle the slit, you want that area to dye evenly, and I think that will be your best bet. Also, liquid dye is a little easier to work with than powder dye. We have a bunch of dye tutorials and FAQ's so I recommend checking those out before you jump in. You can find all of those videos here - th-cam.com/play/PLJaX2D8UTb3U9lnzkSXT9QKt4J3LJmRJB.html
Hi Nikko, I'm guessing the fabric is a synthetic material like polyester, which this dye will not work on. It does work on nylon if it happens to be that. Rit does make a synthetic fiber dye called DyeMore: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/rit-dyemore-synthetic-fiber-dye/ As to the foam/stuffing, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work, but I can't be certain. You would probably want to start off with plenty extra dye bath since it will absorb it.
+Jeffrey St.Charles Yes, the initial color makes a big difference. Using a color remover first (www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm) would help, but you probably wouldn't be able to get the same color.

you'll probably never read this but thanks for the tutorial, I have a nice looking BLACK denim jacket now :) i never would have though to add salt but the jacket looks great. cheers.
You're welcome, glad we could help!
How black did it come out? I’m looking to get some clothing back to super duper black instead of faded black.
Very clear presentation. Thank you 🙏
That whistling song is extremely annoying. At the very least, please remove it completely while you're talking.
You mean that hillbilly tune? 🤣🤣
And her voice
How's about you just go watch another video you creepy butthole.
@@jaybee70lol
How would you dye parts of a garment. Without putting the entire garment in the bucket, as I'd like some parts to stay the original colour??
thanks for the video, but how can i re dye my black t-shirt which have white lines and white logo ????!!!!
The experts at Rit Dye may be able to help you out: www.ritdye.com/contact/
This is awesome I thought it had to be boiling hot which sucked coz could only die one item if this is accurate I could die a few 1 after the other which would be alot cheaper :) thankyou
I want to die my pink tank top black. I'm just nervous that it's not going to turn all the way black. Does it work on pink?
you can turn any color to black. black is the easiest color to make out because it's so extremely dark
+MehlMaus Black is extremely dark.☺ i have no idea why i find this so funny.
Ariana Rodriguez i want to die too, dont worry
Can I use this to change the colour of a small pillow? And once the job is dry and complete, is there any risk of dye rubbing off onto clothes?
thanx 4 the great video...tryin to dye my khaki slacks to purple for a joker costume...ill let u know how it works!
Ispeaketh TheTrutheth! Why am I doing the same thing 🤣
Handsome & intelligent; a great combination. I could tell you are a great designer as well. And so brave, to have that dye so close to your lovely table top and sharp ensemble.
U R undereducated; of course it's possible for anyone to be handsome, most especially, an attractive female. You need to escape your literary bigotry and limited capacity for word knowledge.
you're weird lol
oh my god cringe
I hope this helps, I need to do a partial dye on some fabric that's for a costume.
could you dye a whole hoodie a solid color?
Yay I just made a hoodie for my dog and want to make it black Cause he's brown n rn the hoodie is orange with contrast weirdly against him
The Skoan it’s definitely possible! My grandfather’s old hoodie faded to an almost white color, so I had to dye it back to its original color. It’ll take more dye, though. The technique she uses is tried and true, and practical.
When you all ready dye the color now can i put it inthe washer machine or do i have to wait a little bit
Neato, thanks for the diy, I wanna turn my button up shirt red
Was the water that you mixed with the dye hot cold or warm? thank you for the video.
It should be hot. Sorry we missed this important detail in the video! (It was made a while ago!)
So helpful, thanks!
i have a question
i want to dye a nike tech flecee that had acid damage but just in collor it doesnt have any holes (its gray tech)
my question is if i dye it in black will the acid stains be visible
Totally take you to the movies!
Ew to all of you pervs
Thank you! Really helpful and understandable! And a way cheaper way to find a black trench coat😂😅🔪
Does the water we mix the dye with have to be hot? If so how hot?
thank you dyeeeeee!
I have a navy blue canvas backpack and its colour has been faded out. Do you think this product will work? Moreover, my backpack has brown leather straps. Is that problem?
That vocal fry is so annoying...Good tutorial though.
ooPROTOTYPE1oo especially between 1:10 - 1:20.
The way she say "too" "everywhere" 😅😂
ooPROTOTYPE1oo I've noticed that in a lot of women today when they end with a word their note drops and give off a guttural sound
That's sounds great when having sex lol
Other than that, it sounds pretty annoying imo.
Thought I was the only one who noticed that. Vocal fry makes a young woman sound older, and kills a feminine voice.
Omg, I was thinking the same thing... Vooooooooocaaaaaaaaaaaallllllll Frrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Just refreshing my mind. TY!
so beautiful
This will work with any other colors too, right? I'm looking to dye white into a military green colored shirt. Also, if there is a piece on the fabric that I'd like to preserve, is there any way to protect it? Something I could use to cover it during the process?
This will work with any color! And I would say it totally depends, does the part that you want to preserve. Is it a decal? If so, Rit all purpose will not dye synthetic materials, so you would be fine there. But if you are using Rit Dye More, it would probably dye the material.
Does anyone else think she looks like a young Carrie Fisher?
Nope
You seem to be afflicted with "vocal fry". Your voice drops and crackles at the end of a sentence.
I used this product to dye Cotton fabric for my son's costume. I followed all of the instructions. I washed the fabric in hot water and then dried the fabric in the dryer in order to get the fabric preshrunk before making the costume. I then place the fabric back into the dryer on rinse cycle to pre-wet the fabric. I had the fabric in a pot sitting on the stove with a dye mixed 3 powder packs of black to 6 cups of water. I got the water to a low simmer. I added 3 tablespoons of liquid detergent. and 3 cups of salt per the instructions found on the inside of the powder box. I let the fabric sit in the so called dye bath for an hour while stirring occasionally. Upon removing the fabric, I rinsed the fabric in cold water until there was no more black coming out of the fabric. I then washed the fabric. Not only did the fabric come out grey, the dye was uneven as well. So I thought I try again for a longer period of time. I added 3 additional Black Powder packs to the already black water I used on the previous attempt. I let the fabric sit in the so called dye bath for 28 hours prior to going to work. I also let it sit overnight and finally the next day after work. Please note I stirred the fabric once an hour while I was at home and not asleep. Finally, I rinsed again until the fabric no longer had black coming out. Again, the fabric came out a darker shade of grey and uneven still. O.K. I tryed the process a third time leaving the fabric in 72 hours. I turned the stove on a light simmer while I was home, stirred occasionally. The same results. This product not only wasted my time and money, I am upon a time crunch now because the occasion for his costume debut in in a few days. I ran all over the Charlotte Metropolitan area buying out all of the Rit Dye from the Walmart, Joann Fabric, and Hancock Fabric stores. People were asking me, "why are you buying so much dye". I told them that I was without a choice because the product did not deliver what is claimed to do. I asked the people at the fabric store," am I doing something wrong"? They all told me, " from their experience I was properly using the dye". I consulted the all knowing web and TH-cam videos. I have followed the process everyone uses. I have aIso found others who have experienced my problem. I am hoping the audience will appreciate the natural look of the uneven, Dark Grey costume which is supposed to be Black because everyone is aware of the character's clothing choice from the story line. Please understand the fabric used was cotton, I followed the box's instructions, attempted the dye process 3 times for a total of 101 hours in the dye bath.
I my eyes Rit Dye Products are a rip off. I am now consulting Dharma Trading for their techniques and dye in hopes I will get the desired results.
+Kenneth Terry I'm sorry, I didn't see your comment because it was marked as spam for some reason. That's odd, you are doing it correctly! I know you said it's cotton. Are you sure it's not a cotton/polyester blend? That's the only thing I can think of. I've used Rit dye many times and it's come out as expected, but I don't doubt what you're saying! Black can be difficult.
Another option is fiber reactive dye, which works differently from Rit. www.onlinefabricstore.net/dylon-permanent-fabric-dye-velvet-black-.htm I realize it's too late now, but thought I'd mention it.
One question, was you forced to make this video?
Md Mahmudul Hasan hahaha!
No?...
I have bags of towels from my hotel I work at . could I dye multiple towels with a huge mix ?
youre so cute 😍
Question. When you first put the dye in the water, is the water boiled, hot, or cold.
+erick garcia It should be boiling or very very hot. That will allow the fabric to take the dye better.
Damn, you fine.
She is pretty :)
She looks like Princess Leia
She looks like your average white american, not surprised.
Soulman1282 stop being a pervert.
hahahajackmyswag stop being a coward and say that to my face. You think being a noob is an insult? Well, I can show you how much of a noob you are by kicking your ass!!!!!
Can you also use this method for thick wool clothes because I have a thick wool jacket that I want to dye. Thank you great video
Hi Ali, This dye does work on wool, but because hot water is needed for the dye to absorb properly, there will likely be shrinkage in the jacket.
If you're shooting from multiple cameras like this, the talent needs to turn and look at the new camera when you switch. Otherwise, it looks like she's talking to someone else.
I disagree. I think the shooting and editing were done well. easy to watch and listen to details.
Thank you for this excellent video and instructions. I bought a beautiful green wrap dress online but when the dress arrived the green was not as bright as I saw on the website. Also it doesn't really suit my olive toned skin. I was thinking of dyeing it black. The dress is 95% Cotton and 5% spandex and it is Forrest Green. Can I use the Rit Dye to make it black? Also why do you add salt to the dye? please advise.
with regards
Tilla
+OnlineFabricStore.net Thank you very much for the quick reply and the extra information. I will follow your instructions and keep my fingers crossed all the way through the process. I hope lady luck is on my side for this project, otherwise there goes a $100 dollar dress :)
the vocal fry
how do you know how much water to use in the bucket or does it matter? and should it be hot water or room temperature?
Hi Shelby, the amount of water and dye depends on the amount you are dyeing. You want enough water in order for the fabric to move freely. If the fabric bunches up too much, it won't dye evenly. It should be very hot water, the hotter the better!
thanks, cute girl tho
I'm going to be using Rit Liquid dye to dye cotton 3 strand rope in a variety of sizes (6mm up to 32mm) Can I reuse the dye for example the day after dying my rope? Could you reheat it? Or do I have to throw it away? Thank you
It's best to start with a new batch. Even though it looks like there's still a lot of dye in the water after dyeing something, the results of using it the second time would most likely come out lighter.
oh my goodness the vocal fryyyyy ugh!!!
I like her voice.
I've got a pair or navy blue, cotton trousers that have a bleach stain on them. Should I totally bleach them and then dye or can I dye them right away. I wouldn't want to end up with a patchy pair of trousers (again). Great video by the way. :)
a pair *of*
Bleach sometimes damages the fibers and may not dye properly. We suggest using Rit Color Remover (www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm) instead of bleach to get them as light as possible, then redye. Here's what Rit says about it: www.ritdye.com/faq/why-are-faded-areas-bleach-spots-and-sun-fade-still-there-after-dyeing/
what a babe
I dyed a bunch of stained clothes white over a year ago (originally white), and now some of them have turned a light yellow-pink color. Oxidized? Only a few of them have remained white. Why is that? Would dyeing them again make them white again?
This video is completely unwatchable because of the ridiculous music
+Jason Carlin agree
It's not that bad
If I go through this process and dye my clothes, then after the initial wash is it really susceptible to color bleeding when I wash it in the future w/ regular laundry?
Just to clarify... does it matter what color my material is? Like in this example she uses a white bag but if she used a yellow bag would the outcome still be blue or would it become green?
It would most likely be green. Dying is an experiment and will come out different every time, but a good general rule of thumb is that it will blend with the existing color.
I would like to try dying a white comforter to a light shade of blue, somewhere between 00DDFF and 8EF1FF, but I dont know if its a good idea or how well it would work. I tried my hardest to find a comforter that is already near the shades, but people just dont like to manufacture anything fabric in that kind of color.
The only site where I was able to find a comforter that was in a nice shade that I like, I dont know if I trust. I had never heard of it before, and the only videos on TH-cam for the company are from their own channel, and dont have many views.
i don’t know if you’re still replying to comments, but i have a dress i wore to homecoming that’s royal purple and feels like felt or suede(???) i want to dye it black and try to cut/hem a slit for my leg so i can rewear it to prom in may. do you think it’ll work? i’m scared to try because it was a really expensive dress and i don’t want to ruin it. thank you!!!
It's worth a shot! I don't see why not. Suede is a synthetic material, so you are going to want to use RIT Dye More and REALLY hot water. In terms of the order of things, I would dye the material and then tackle the slit, you want that area to dye evenly, and I think that will be your best bet. Also, liquid dye is a little easier to work with than powder dye. We have a bunch of dye tutorials and FAQ's so I recommend checking those out before you jump in. You can find all of those videos here - th-cam.com/play/PLJaX2D8UTb3U9lnzkSXT9QKt4J3LJmRJB.html
If you have a Richie pink robe could it be dyed black? It’s modal fabric
i'm trying to dye a muscle suit that's stuffed with foam/stuffing. is this method viable for that as well?
Hi Nikko, I'm guessing the fabric is a synthetic material like polyester, which this dye will not work on. It does work on nylon if it happens to be that. Rit does make a synthetic fiber dye called DyeMore: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/rit-dyemore-synthetic-fiber-dye/
As to the foam/stuffing, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work, but I can't be certain. You would probably want to start off with plenty extra dye bath since it will absorb it.
Does it matter what the initial color of the material is before dying? As an example, can I make a red shirt and purple pants the same color?
+Jeffrey St.Charles Yes, the initial color makes a big difference. Using a color remover first (www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm) would help, but you probably wouldn't be able to get the same color.
Lets say have a size 40S brown trench-coat which is a 50-50 cotton polyester mix. And i want to dye it Very dark black. How would i do this?
