16 new colours :)
Was inspired to do some batch dyeing this weekend! Used three bottles of Rit dye and 1 package of colour remover.
Top row dyed wine red, middle row purple (number 10 was dyed with both those colours), bottom row royal blue. I’ve listed the original colours and fabric type of the garments below.
All were soaked for 1 hour in a large plastic storage bin with the hottest water from my tap, the dye, a tablespoon of salt, a tablespoon of dish soap, and periodically stirred.
I also dyed 5 other items that didn’t noticeably change colour - they were nylon/ polyester blends and I didn’t have vinegar but I thought I’d try anyways.

2-light orange, wool
3-lavender (used remover), cotton
