r/dyeing

It’s a polyester plushie. Also I am planning on removing all the stuffing first.

i want to dye these jeans black i don’t know if they’ll take.
edit: i haven’t bought any dye yet so if yall have any suggestions feel free to share!

I love how they all turned out!!

I kept wondering why the colors & names seemed so off when following the rit websites formula page. It turns out the color swatch looks completely different when your iPhone (maybe for other phones too) is in dark mode vs light mode! Pics above are of the same color in different modes.

It did not dye quite how I was picturing but since I’ve been dyeing for a while now I’m not surprised and I LOVE IT!! I used the jet black rit dye for natural fibers, it’s 100% cotton

I recently bought this white bolero that I wanted to dye black! I got a rit liquid dye, boiled water and added a little bit of laundry detergent and salt like the instructions said, and let my white bolero sit in the mixture while I stirred every few minutes for 50 minutes. When I washed it, only the lace trim was black and the actual bolero was grey. When I washed and dried it (washed with cold water and dried on normal) it turned green! I just want a black bolero. The fabric is polyester. Can anyone recommend a good black dye to use? Did I maybe I used the rit dye incorrectly? Should I use a different brand instead of rit?

(Pictures are before, when I rinsed it, when I washed and dried it)

Hi! I’ve never dyed any clothing before and i have this pink hoodie that i was to be black. it’s 60% cotton and 40% polyester, does anyone have any good dye recommendations or tips that would work for this? Thanks!

It’s viscose material, more crepe like if you know the brand.

It’s more of a salmon/coral in real life. I’m aiming for a richer orange/red colour.

Has anyone had success dyeing this type of fabric?

I have absolutely no experience with dyeing clothes but I know the fabric can affect the dye job. I’d like to dye this to be a darker green but it‘s for my wedding and I don’t want to risk ruining it.

1. First picture is what the jeans I have look like (not my pic) and the second is what I want them to look like.

2. I want both the color and effect on the jeans.

3. The jeans are 100% cotton. Thank youu!

Purchased some lovely and hard to get tan ralph lauren cotton linen shorts.

Day 1 I spilt black acrylic paint forgetting i had put them on. Tried all the remedies including ink remover, white spirit etc and eventually I tried peroxide. Still cant remove it fully. Surrounding fabric slightly yellowed. So now its in a rit dye remover bath and they have gone yellow but the dot is still there.. Im hoping to get it to a uniform colour where I can redye them tan.

Any tips if this dye remover fails?

My last resort is rehemming them which might have been a better solution in the first place.

P.s can I use rit synthetic dye on them? I have a bottle of tan floating about. Not sure i should buy regular natural dye for it!

Do you think is it possible to achieve this exact pattern?

Do you have any tips for me please?
I want to hand dye a lace top but with this soft gradient style without looking saturated with bright colors.

What ingredients do you think I would need? 🥺

Thanks

Hi there! I’m a bride-to-be on a budget attempting to do some DIY! I got 23 table runners (100% polyester) for $10, and while I don’t hate the existing color and could be content with them as is, I’m wondering if it’s possible to dye them to be slightly more vibrant. (Inspo pics attached)

My fiancé is a theatrical stage technician and has some experience with dyeing synthetics, but I’m trying to get up to speed. I’ve been reading instructions from RitDye about working with synthetics, and looking at the color formulas. I was wondering if anyone here might have some real-life-experience tips that I can pair with my textbook-reading. Any insight would be much appreciated!

In summary:

1. first two pictures are of the current runners
2. third pic is my desired outcome
3. fabric is 100% polyester

Thanks in advance!

Hi, all! I'm brand new to dyeing and was wondering if it's possible to dye a white viscose dress? It's an older dress from Reformation, that I don't wear as much simply because it's white. I'm not too picky on the color but I would prefer a light purple, light green, or light blue. I'm wondering if I can dye it messing with the size and which dye would be best? Thank you!!

So i have this camo hoodie but i didn’t expect it too look this green/cool tone, i want it to be a bit more like the second image. What color dye should i use to make it more brown/warm

This hoodie is a blend of cotton and polyester im just now sure about the ratio

These 5 Bella Canvas shirts stood no chance against my dye powers!

I have this pair of paws that I need the beans dyed purple for something, I believe it's polyester. I know polyester has to be submerged, but how would I dye these without getting dye on the whole things?
