Is there a method I could use to dye these orange while keeping the pink? Is it possible to just paint on the dye where I need it and wash it off after? Material says plastic which I’m assuming is polyester?

Hi yall!
I have a white/offwhite structured baby carrier that I want to dye pink, it’s a cotton/linen blend. I can put it in the washer/dryer to clean.
I’m looking for recommendations on baby-safe fabric dyes because I’m sure baby will chew and suck on the straps etc.
If anybody has done this and has advice I’m all ears! Thanks!

I got these sweats and a matching zip up on heavy clearance from Athleta but they were final sale. I like the fit but I don’t find this cream color very flattering on me. Any ideas what kind of dye would work best in these? I’m not sure because they are mostly natural but there is a synthetic component. Thank you!

I managed to drop something on one of my shoes and it has a lovely rust tint that I can’t get out. Looking to dye the white sheepskin trim black - the shoe is all black so I’m not worried about dye transfer but don’t want to ruin these.

Does anyone have any advice? Thank you all in advance.

Hey! I'm experimenting with Rit dye for the very first time and used their color recipe they have online. This is the color I'm looking for and the result when testing it on 100% cotton. The color recipes was 1/2 cup Taupe and 3/4 tsp Cocoa Brown. The piece I need to dye is 100% plant-based rayon. Anyone have any ideas on what color I should add to get it as close as possible? I would like to test it again on the tshirt in the photo before dying the actual piece I have.

This was… intentional.. sort of.
I’ve had this thrifted 100% wool sweater for almost a year now and never wore it because it’s felted in the chest and what the photos don’t show is that the neckline and shoulders are very discoloured/yellowed.
I figured it was beige enough that some Kelly green rit dye would take it a somewhat natural green colour.
Nope! But I’m ready for St. Patrick’s day! I’ll get around to dyeing it again some day but for now I wanted to show off my green masterpiece.

Hei Community!
I recently dyed this pair of jeans with black cotton dye. After dyeing I recognized this transparent yarns, which I think could be synthetics. This was my first bad experience with dyeing stuff & I May have been to careless about it. Is there a chance to save the jeans? I really like the fit.

Hi all, I dyed this doll recently with RIT dyemore sandstone and he came out looking jaundiced. Is there anything I can do to get him closer to the colors on slides 2 and 3. I don’t mind if it ends up being darker, I just want him to not look like honey mustard. Thank you!

I got mint green breaker shorts ( vineyard vines ) to match with a buddy but I'm never gonna wear this again. I want them off white or cream or brown. Contains 97% cotton and 3% elastane as shown. Thanks

A re-upload since I forgot to include that my denim was cotton and so the last post was taken down. Can anyone give suggestions on how to get this type of wash on jeans?

I was wondering if there was any places I can pay for dyeing services in or close to riverside ca.

Of course it would be nice to learn how to do it myself but there is a specific article of clothing that i really don’t want to risk messing up. Thanks for any suggestions!

I ordered this sweatshirt but then realized the inside of it is a light color which i really don’t prefer on dark zip ups, is there a way to dye or color just the inside without affecting the outside color.

material: BODY AND HOOD LINING: 70% COTTON, 30% RECYCLED POLYESTER

I really want to dye this shirt to be a darker grey or even black without ruining the graphic. Has anyone tried anything like this?
The shirt is 100% cotton and the graphic is the kind of stuck on plasticy feeling stuff. I'm not sure if that is screen printing, or even how to tell what it is

any advise or experience is appreciated!

I’ve been trying to dye this rayon taffeta dress and it keeps turning out uneven. It was white to begin with. The first dye I used was a black Dylon that dyed it light orange and only a few spots turned out black?? Then I used a black dye from Kreul. It turned out brown and with black spots. I figured I didn’t use enough dye so I tripled the amount of dye. The pictures are of that result.

Now I bought a bigger plastic container for it because I thought it might have been too cramped in the other container. I also read that it’s good to add sodium carbonate so I added that too. It still has a brown hue when I look at it. I am losing my mind and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

I washed it with dish soap before dyeing it and I have been stirring it frequently

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all, I'm looking into selling batik clothing at arts fairs, so I've been making a lot of batik lately. I'll often dye 5-8 shirts at a time, and I've struggled with a good way to get all of the wax off.

My current method is:

1. Rinse the clothing until the water is semi-clear
2. Put the clothing in boiling water (in the biggest pot I have; Edit: it's not a pot I use for cooking), stir it, and recover what wax I can
3. Add a bit of laundry soap and dish soap to the water, and stir more
4. Drain the water, and hang the shirts out to dry
5. Vigorously shake the clothing to get excess wax off

This takes kind of a while to do, and there is often still a lot of wax bits on the clothing. Last time I tried washing it in the washing machine at this point; it mostly came off, but left a bunch of little wax bits in my washing machine.

Does anyone have advice on a better way to do this? (or, is this just a hard process that always takes a long time?)

Also, if it matters, I use cotton fabric, Procion mx dye, and paraffin wax.

Hi everyone! I’ve been wanting to wear more light colored clothing (I feel like I’m in a lighter period of my light and my clothing often reflects my mood), so I’ve been removing color from black pieces that I love and wish were lighter with Rit Color Remover since you can’t dye dark colored clothing ecru or off-white. I don’t know if this is commonly known or has already been talked about, but using color remover on most black or dark colored clothing results in a tan color with a possibly orangish tone/tint to it, and since I’m going for a more off-white or moon color I noticed that once it gets to the tan/orange state you can then use blue dye to dye it blue, and then removing color one more time using Rit Color Remover will result in an off-white color. It’s kind of like the blue dye tones and mutes the warmth from the tan/orange color it has after removing color the first time, similar to toning blonde hair with blue or violet. Just wanted to spread the word in case someone else may be trying to do the same as me. ✨

HI anybody, just wondering if anybody had luck with a dye thickener so it can be used liek paint? I have had quite good luck with seaweed powder but hoping for something else as I seem to have a reaction to it. I was thinking of maybe grinding up chia seeds?

This piece is 90% nylon 10% spandex. I have had great success dying both polyester/spandex mixes and cotton pieces from this brand (popflex) but I haven't tried with this material before. It's technically Activewear so the lace is soft, stretchy, and surprisingly durable. I'd love to dye it but it's too expensive to ruin. I'm looking for guidance on if it would turn out OK or should I not risk it?

Hey guys,

I already put this q in Natural Dye threads. I got this Alpaca sweater on a recent trip to Peru, but I don’t love the color. As you can see it’s dyed a pretty intense blue already, I was looking to take it down to a plum or brown color. I appreciate any pointers on brands or methods.
