Looking to dye my grey fabric bed beige.. partner wants to do the easy route and do black which I know will work but I want a beige/neutral room without adding black (as this is the colour scheme of our lounge). Wondering if it’s possible to go from grey - it is a light grey, not dark to a nice beige colour.

Based in UK. TIA :))

I'm using 100% cotton shirts, one grey one purple. I used my thermometer to make sure that water was around 200 F before pouring rit remover in. I've seen YouTube videos and most people see color removal within seconds of dumping it but I didn't, still i gave it the 20 minutes the instructions said and still no color removal. Like literally no lightening whatsoever. I've done this twice now, with two different batches of rit remover and I'm seeing no results so I'm assuming this is user error. Any body have any advice? Is it possible I'm OVERheating the water that the chemicals aren't working? Some YouTube videos I've seen don't even maintain the pot above a constant heat source, they just boil water and drop it into a bucket and let it soak like that...

Hi guys,

I've dyed my green cargo pants black, but the seams stayed green bc they have too much synthetic fibers. Any idea on how to dye those? Maybe a normal Edding will Work?

I tried the exact “RIT” dye recipe (dye, dish soap, salt, hot water) but i used India ink instead of the rit…

Stirred for 5 mins every 15 mins up until I decided to just leave the jeans in the solution overnight and up until I got home from work.

Took the jeans out and they appeared to be jet black!! Until I ran cold water over them and they went back to blue but a much darker tone….I wanna JET BLACK dye these as dark as possible….any help???

I dyed a Nike jacket today with Rit all purpose dye and the logo turned black. I don’t really care since it’s an old jacket and it doesn’t even look half bad but I’d still rather have white. What can I do so when I dye more Nike clothes the logo doesn’t turn a different color.

Hey there, I'm hoping to dye this dress ideally like a sage green colour.

The fabric is 84% Naia™ Renew Acetate, 16% polyester.

I've seen people on youtube/tiktok use rit dye but I've never dyed anything in my life and would love advice from some pros!

Thanks in advance :)

I have the following jacket: https://www.superdry.com/mens/jackets/details/206927/military-fishtail-parka-jet-black

The shell is 65% cotton 35% polyester

I washed it twice and its turning green and white in some spots

What dye will I need to make this black?

I have these sun bleached black Nike sweats and I wanted to fix them. I've never dyed before so I don't know the process but after looking at some videos this is what I found. The pants are 80% cotton 20% polyester.

• heat up a bunch of water till it’s hot
• transfer it to a plastic container outside
• add 1 cup of salt and mix
• bottle of Rit all purpose dye
• dish soap and mix
• pre washed wet pants in cool water from the washer
• put the pants in and leave it in for 30-60 minutes
• color stay dye
• rinse with hose
• washing machine with cold water
• air dry

Is there anything I should change in dying it? Also would the stitched white logo dye too? It should be polyester but it's starting to tear off so I don't really know.

I have this medium grey heather osprey bag

I am not a fan of the colour, looking to dye it something else... I have never dyed anything before and wondering what to expect? I am thinking something darker like black/ darker grey, or dark green/blue/brown/purple. (tbd)

However one thing I am unsure about is, will the grey "show" through? (i am not sure what the right words are, but similar to a watercolor painting where it is slightly translucent so the layer underneath still shows through?) If that is the case, wondering which colour would be most effective for such a scenario

The fabric is some sort of polyester "bluesign® approved 500D recycled polyester packcloth, PFC-free DWR"

from a quick search it seems RIT dye might be a good choice right?

Hello! I am a yarn dyer and wanting to branch out to include non Superwash yarns. I use acid dyes and the colors aren’t as vibrant as they are on my Superwash bases. Another yarn dying friend told me I need to mordant my yarn. I have been researching this and I am only finding natural dye information. I am not a forager and want to use the acid dyes. Are there any resources that I could read/watch? I thought about doing tests and mordant with alum and then use acid dyes. Anyone know if this would work?

I was having a think just now and I was wondering if you could take boiling water, drop it into a preheated pot, add your dye and let it sit in a preheated oven to maintain that near boiling temperature for the duration of the dye bath?

Im looking at dying some milsurp bags and pouches black. From something ive read, success in dying these sorts of things comes from a steady, near boiling temperature and to leave it there for 45 mins to an hour. While i bet my sous vide would possibly do the trick and perhaps be safe to use (since neither it, nor the water contacts the food when cooking) i was trying to think up a way to maintain that temperature and an oven seemed an interesting idea.

The temp of the dye wont exceed boiling temp of water, and since i dont have a burner directly under my stainless vessel, i imagine stirring could be simpler not having to worry about scorching my items to the bottom.

Thoughts?

Im sure ill still need to stir a bit to make sure everything gets an even soak, but maby it will be more of a quality reason and not a ruining my peices reason.

i got this jacket technically for free @ a clothing swap because the fit is perfect and the buttons also have a neat motif. I intend to dye it, first I thought black but I'm now wondering if I could somehow go muted green, or another colour? I have experience with rit dyes but I've never used their colour remover. Have we had success with that? or is this purple just too dam purply

I have a couple of shirts and pants “prolly like 10 total” and I want to die them black. They vary in what materials they are made out but they are mostly cotton

Where should I start? I heard of Rit dye but i heard some bad things

Thank you for your help
