Anyone who has ever dyed towels, clothes or bed sheets?

I dyed clothes, maybe 30 years ago. I did it in my washing machine and it was part of a kind of dressing up my children liked at that moment. It wass`t expensive and I helped them. I had then a better washing machine than the one I have now and even materials were better. The dye had to be on cotton (not man made fabrics).

I have never tried dyeing of clothes, but i know people, who do this using a kind of soap that is meant for this only, the cloth is boiled in water first, next dyed, next soaked in salty water to fix the color

My granny used to die fabric when she was alive. I found deep purple and dark brown fabric die in her old stuff. She used to make broomstick skirts for my auntie when she was young and I imagine she would die the fabric too. My auntie was a teen during the 50's

1st You can make in the washer, then a black machine or a blank machine, it is again "pure color" - because nothing happens 2nd To the color you buy is usually still a fixer (unless it is already included) which fixes the color ..... if it is dry then wash as normal, it will turn not from .... Do that sometimes, it's fun ^ ^ but it's only pure cotton, all other fabrics can be dyed only with difficulty or not at all .... It's always really just darker, not lighter or at least a different color .... But pink and lime green, will give a purple tone ..

I think everyone has times dyed bed sheets, but without intention. The coloring depends on the material, is dismissed or treated specially dyed for protection, then takes on the no color. I would not do this, the mess is bigger than the benefits. (Better a dress in the wrong color as a discolored.) Drawing on the sofa (or something) with a thick canvas, since cats have to work long and hard. Ev. they may prefer a scratching post?

You can buy Rit dye at any arts & crafts store, or Walmart. It comes in many colors. You can use a washing machine, a big pot over the stove, or a bath tub. Though, it might stain the bath tub. All you need is to dissolve the powdered Rit dye in HOT water and then soak the bed sheet in the dyed water until it is at the color you want (even a little darker than you want). Then rinse it in clean water and hang it to dry over night. Then the next day you should wash it in the washing machine incase there is any extra dye left in it. But use cold water to wash it so it doesn't fade too much.

I've dyed my clothes before. They were black and fading so I used black dye to make them dark again. With the dye that I used, I put it in the washing machine with some salt (I don't remember how much salt, I went by what the package said). After it dried, I wore it and it was fine. If you're using packaged dye, be sure to read the label and follow the directions.
