everything but velour
Was salt or vinegar used?
You seriously have no clue how much this has helped me!! I need to make a rug and I want it to be purple but they didn't have any cute purple fur fabric to make my own so I was thinking how in the world could I make a purple fur rug? Just dye the white fur.. but how?? This helped so much and seriously saved me $300!! I just need to find a big pot
If the rug is too big you can dye it in your home washing machine... a couple important tricks to remember: 1) Turn up the temperature setting on your water heater the night before so you'll have lot's of "really" hot water ready for the process the next day! 2) Make sure to set the appropriate water level on the washer for the size rug you plan on doing, too little water and the fabric & dye won't circulate properly! 3) Make sure to use enough dye (more water requires more dye) especially when using the 1/2 or 3/4 water level settings (1-2 bottles = lighter colors/3-4+ bottles = darker colors). 4) Remember to turn down the heat setting on the water heater(!) 5) You remembered to turn down the heat on the water heater...right(?) :)
KITTY POOOOOL!!!!!!
@@bassafratzoh my goodness this is such a good idea… thank you thank you!!! Oh anddd…..thank you!!!🙏🏼 💚💙💜💛
Impressive amount of materials used
You just saved me the trouble of a bunch of expensive and time consuming experiments. I'm glad I found your channel, for this and the hand-sewing vids, and whatever else I will surely end up being pleasantly surprised to see a much-needed tutorial on.
We gottchu!
Thank you for giving another option to get the fabrics I need for my projects. You've saved many people time, grief & a lot of money. Once again thank you. All I have to do now is to buy a large pot and spoon with the dyes that I need and it's "GAME ON!.
WOW thank you for this video. I was wondering if dye would work and how it would look on various fabrics and you put it all in one video. This is going to be a game changer I wear a larger bra size and often have problems finding good bras in pretty colors now I can buy the white one and just make the Pretty colors myself brilliant. Thanks again
Thanks so much. I've been wanting a dark green chair for ages but I'm not willing to pay 300 bucks for that😂 so now i can use the leftover seat cover if one of my living room chairs and dye it dark green. Yayyy. I was just concerned about it not being able to hold colour since it's 100% polyester, but after seeing your results, i must say I'm amazed. Thank you❤ and thanks from my bank account for saving me 300 dollars😂😂
This is the PERFECT video assistance for ANYONE new or old to learn about dying fabric!!!! EXCELLENT JOB! THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤
the Rit dye can also be used to dye some types of leather a well. It just had to be a little thicker for that than to dye the cloth.
I've been looking for ways to dye faux fur but all I keep seeing is how to dye it with acrylic paint. This is really going to help for what I want to do and the color looked so good too.
Thank you so much! I needed to see how different fabrics would absorb and you did it!
Well done. The conciseness & absence of annoyance drastically elevates the quality of your video.
thanks so much for this video. I have just purchased two bottles of this dye and can't wait to get started.
Hello! I am looking at possible dying a wedding dress (colored wedding dresses are hard to find!!), do you know anything about dying tulle? Thank you!
so incredibly helpful. so convenient to see the different fabric results!
Glad it was helpful!
Any loss of stretchiness in the polyester-spandex? I have read that heat destroys the spandex, but your sample looks undamaged... Thanks for posting such a comprehensive sample!
Hahaha! If you took a shot for how many times you saw people replying with "now I gotta find a large pot", how drunk would you be?
Because this really helped a lot (hooray, halloween!) Now I gotta find a large pot for my velvet cape.
I have about 3 yards of fleece to dye. Don't think I'm going to find a pot big enough for that xD
Probably will just cut out the pieces first then dye.
Any tips for how to get a lilac/lavender 100% polyester?
Best dye video ever.
This is amazing thank you for all of these fabric tests and the easy tutorial!
Wanted to see if a Thermometer was necessary, thank you for showing it wasn't.
A lot of you are asking questions that the Bottle of Dye will tell you: Rit DyeMore can be used on Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic, Acetate and Blends with Synthetics, (the Fabric should tell you it's composition) if it is a Fabric containing Cotton, Linen, Rayon or Rame, you will need Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative as well. The Fabric needs to stay in for at least 30min (specially if it has Polyester in it) up to 60min for one dying session. 1 Bottle can dye up to 2 Pounds of Fabric, if the Fabric contains Polyester you will need x2 the amount of Dye minimum, depending on the desired result.
I used the Graphite on a pair of Light Blue Sepeckled Leggings (Nylon 67%, Polyester 39% and Elastine 4%), and I now have a lovely pair of Dark Grey/Charcoal Speckled Leggings. I used half the bottle, as my leggings weigh 1/2 a pound and they contain Polyester, so not sure if a full bottle or another go around would get it truly Black, but I am quite happy with them not being a solid Black, some colour depth is nice.
Thank you sooooo much. I recently just went to a fabric store and they didn't have red faux fur, so I was only able to get white. Atleast now i know how to dye it 😅
Please help! My senior photos are less then 2 days away and my school changed dress code for the photos. I already bought my dress and I need to dye it black. Will the synthetic dye work on 96% polyester and 4% spandex white dress?
Yes! It should work! Best of luck!
did your dress become super black after? I have a dress that is of the same percentage as the materials you have mentioned and I was wondering if I could get mine into a nice deep shade of black
Just the video I needed!!! Thnks so much. Now I can paint my white cotton/ polyester dress in light blue :)
Best of luck! You got this!!
I have a polyester dress I want to dye, but if it can't be washed on a temperature higher than 30C, how can I keep it in hot wanter for 30 min?
I have a question. I’ve purchased a couple of bottles of RIT Dye so I can dye a couple of pairs of White Fruit Of The Loom Sweatpants and Sweatshirts. I purchased a couple of bottles of colors such as Purple, Lemon Yellow, and True Green. I’m wanting to know if the RIT Dye will actually work??? I also purchased a couple of bottles of RIT Dye Fixative to set the color. Now I keep being told I’ll need salt and dish soap when dying. I went on the RIT website for directions I NEVER seen where I’ll need dish soap and salt. Whenever I go to dye I’ll use 2 bottles of each Color just to make sure the sweatshirt and sweatpants get all around color. Also can I use RIT DYE on Fleece sweatshirt and sweatpants???
I store gems in tiny plastic casings, but the stores don't have black foam, only green. So I'm dying them black, washing, then drying before I store them in the containers. I'll do testing afterwards to make sure they don't stain the stones or something.
Regardless, thank you.
Thank you so much! This video was so helpful and well done. Question, what was the polyester/spandex blend ratio? I am trying to dye leggings with 78% nylon + 22% spandex and wanted to know if 22% spandex is dyeable. Thank you!!
Hi please help asap I need to dye a 95% polyester 5% spandex white bandage dress to a blue or black even. Do you think it’ll be ruined by dying or even take the color?
Thankyou for the video. I tried to dye a polyester dress red but it turned out peach red, wanted a red colour. I put 2 bottles of this dye, mixed for 40 minutes on the stove. Fabric weight 1.5 pounds. Shall I redeem again with 1 more bottle of dye or would you recommend another 2 bottles of the same red colour.
I feel brave now. Thanks
This video is _extremely_ helpful.. danke
Great video and very enlightening as well. Good job.
Thank you!
What about Crypton fabric? Can I de-performance a fabric by washing it a certain way or adding something like vinegar? I purchased a not inexpensive slipcovered swivel armchair chair that’s supposed to match the off-white sofa we ordered from the same place but the chair fabric is bright white and the company is giving me the runaround. To have a new slipcover made is 1/2 the price of the chair. I was all set to start experimenting with Lady Gray tea and two RIT dye combinations (Sweet Cornsilk and Ashton at the Opry) on some similar fabric scrap pieces and then I read performance fabrics can’t be dyed. 😩 Advice please?
So do it need to stay on the heat while dying or can I move it because I don’t have a pot large enough for what I want to dye
I have 67-28-5 (rayon, polyamide, spandex) white pants I want to dye purple. would that be safe to dye? also would it be damaged by the hot/boiling water for dyeing?
Thank you so much for this video! For the sunbrella, would you suggest using more dye for a darker color?
Does anyone know a sub for dishwashing liquid? I only have Bronner's Castile soap and Sal Suds. I also have homemade washing soda powder and powder borax. Will any of this work? Thanks!
Would this method work with a polyester Sherpa material? I am trying to dye a rose colored romper brown and not quite sure how to go about it
It may, just be aware that extremely hot water may change the texture of your sherpa.
Awesome, thanks very much. This was very helpful.
I work in a supermarket bakery and I work for a company that’s got identical aprons to my previous job except for the colour. My old ones are a medium grey colour and my new ones are black. I wanted to make use of two brand new ones I had from my old job by dying them black as I don’t have enough aprons and have to keep washing them constantly. The label says 65% polyester and 35% cotton. Will I be able to dye these at home?
I tried this with 90%polester and 10% spandex it didn't dye at all. What's wrong with it????
I have a dress that seams to be in stretch mesh, would it shrink if i dye it in hot water? :)
I have a dress that's 63% PE (I'm guessing that's polyester?), 31% viscose and 5% spandex. It als says on the lable to wash it at 30 degrees Celcius and not to tumble dry. It currently is between soft pink and bright pink in colour, but I would like it to be dark burgundy (though a bit more purple). Would it be possible to use this dye? And could I mix colours to get the desired shade?
If you stick to the washing directions on the dress, 30 degrees Celcius would probably not be hot enough for the dye bath, especially for the polyester fibers. If you're willing to risk it, you would likely be able to get the color you want with the water in the bath being near boiling. Along with the racing red color, using some of the graphite and possibly a little royal purple would be our suggestion for the color you describe.
For a 65% polyester and 35% cotton maxi dress that’s super super light tint purple how long do I leave it in the synthetic purple rit dye to get it like a lilac purple
Is it better to dye twice or dye once with twice as much dye for polyester?
I need help I’m getting my bridesmaid dress but it’s white and I need it like a lilac color it’s made of 95% polyester and 5% spandex how long would I keep it in the synthetic purple rit dye for
We usually recommend around 30 minutes to an hour (after that, nothing is really happening) More importantly, you need to keep the water nearly boiling the whole time.
So I used 2 black iDyes on a 100% polyester cloak that was forest green and it came out brown. I also used a large pot on an electric burner but also didn’t boil.
I want to make my cloak black. What do you recommend for me to achieve that? I still have 2 more iDyes packets.
Use ether salt or vinegar to activate
Hi , if I add a little black would it make it darker
The stretchy lace came out pretty dark. Could I add red dye to the mix to make it a brighter purple?
Hi Anita, If you only leave the lace in a short period of time, it should come out lighter and brighter. You can add red if you want a warmer shade of purple, but it won't affect the brightness. Since this lace is 100% nylon, the regular Rit All-Purpose Dye works on it too. The lace came out lighter with the all-purpose dye. Find the video for it here: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/rit-all-purpose-fabric-dye/
1:21 *hail satin*
Can I also dye a cloth that is not white, for example green?
Do you still use a sealant afterwards for the synthetic dye?
No, you don't have to use the sealant for the synthetic, it will not do anything with that material.
Thank you this is so helpful!!!
I have to frequently wear compression stockings, will this dye work so I can have a better choice of colors to wear?
Probably! Check what material they are made out of but I think this will work for you! You can find DyeMore here~ www.onlinefabricstore.net/brand-rit.aspx
You are going to want to use Rit All Purpose Dye on cotton, wool, silk, nylon and rayon fabrics and use Dye More on polyester, acrylic and acetate
Can you mix white dye with a darker dye such as this to get a lighter shade of the colour?
Does this wash off over time if it’s nylon spandex fabric with the holes in it
Why do you say "fry clean only"? These fabrics can only be dry-cleaned after dying? Why?
Hello, I want to buy the Rit DyeMore in Graphite. How can I dye my carpet that is stuck to the floor? Do I have to heat up the dye still and can brush over carpet? Thank you
Honestly, I don't really recommend it. There is no good way to get the material hot enough for long enough for this type of dye to work . If you are going to go ahead with it, I would probably apply the dye, and put something (like tin foil or plastic wrap) over the dye and heat it with an iron or a hair dryer. Good luck!
Is the material used for velvet look flowers actually velvet? I need to change the color of mine without losing that velvet look or gloss. wil this dye work on them?
Can I dye the same clothing item with pink and black and how? In two different times?
Do you think a 10 L pot is big enough for a dress? Im sad because all my pots are too small and ive been looking at a cheap 10L pot and hope it will be enough. I dont wanna buy again an other pot to find out its too small! This shouldve been a cheap diy project and now i have to spend so much in it😅 but i wanna finish it
Question, they only had the green color I wanted in the synthetic brand. Can I use this on a jacket that’s 97% cotton, 3% spandex?
Yes! You can! It will work that way, but it does not work the other way around (the RIT All Purpose will not dye synthetics)
Hi, is it possible to dye 100% polyester tulle? The tag says not to wash above 40°c but water simmers at about 95°c, and I don't want to ruin my fabric. If I just dyed it in hot water instead of boiling, would it possibly still work? Thank you in advance for the help.
I would say it is worth a shot, but I am not confident it will give you your desired results. I would be worried that your color will not be very saturated.
Thank You, Very helpful!!
Good morning I would love to dye my white curtains to silver grey can it actually works...
Can you dye navy blue chiffon and spandex to black? Or is it better to dye white to black?
What if my fabric is 62% cotton, 33% nylon, and 5% spandex blend? Should I mix the synthetic dye with the normal dye together?
You will want to use the synthetic dye for a blend.
I want to dye a coral colored 100% poly dress to a medium blue. Should I keep it submerged in the hot dye mixture longer?
Hi Mandi, unfortunately it won't work to change coral polyester fabric to blue. Since they are opposite colors on the color wheel, it would likely come out a brownish, muddy color.
Has anyone tried this on a bridesmaid dress that is polyester. Label says professional dry clean only?
I'm using a fur from joanne fabrics that doesn't seem to want to dye... and the rit dyemore doesn't come in the maroon/wine color I need. How do I create the color? and would I have to leave the fabric in overnight since I tried two hours and it came out much lighter than I wanted?
To get a maroon/wine color you can try adding a bit of purple and brown to the red. Every fabric is different and you never know exactly how well it will absorb the dye. If you tried 2 hours on the stovetop to keep the water very hot and it didn't get dark enough, I doubt leaving it overnight will help, especially since you probably don't want to keep the stove on while sleeping! You could try using more dye. Good luck!
Please help someone! I'm trying to dye a polyester fabric that's bright red a darker red. Like crison almost. So do I just use red rit dye and add more color?
To make it a darker red, use the red color and add a little black and/or brown dye until it is the color you want. You can dip in a paper towel to test the color. The black will make it a cooler red and the brown will make it warmer.
Does it dye the sequins too or just the fabric they're attached too?
can you use this dye on 100% cotton? I went to walmart looking for the regular rit dye (for cotton), but all they had was synthetic.
I think food coloring will dye protein based fabrics (from animals and plants: wool, linen, cotton)
can i dye the jordan 4 levis denim with this?
denim
It's hard to say. It would probably dye them but with the high heat needed, I'd be worried it could damage some of the materials.
i dye my facemask when i go to wash it with clear water it turns to super light violet, how do i fix it? or do i neeed to dye more?
Just keep washing until the water runs clear!
Hey! I want to dye Spandex chair covers, however these covers are 95% polyester and 5% spandex. Will this work for it? If not what’s the best dye for that type of mixture? Can I just use spray paint?
Rit DyeMore should work well for your project. Regular spray paint would crack, especially on stretchy fabric, but spray paint that's specifically for fabric may work: www.onlinefabricstore.net/brand-rust-oleum.aspx?product_group=paint&product=spray-paint&product_sub_group=fabric-and-vinyl-spray-paint
Hi, I’m trying to dye a black oversized saucer chair that’s made up or 100% polyester fiber. Do you think it’s possible I can use the Rit remover and turn this black chair purple?
Unfortunately the color remover doesn't work on polyester so you may be stuck with black!
Thank you for making this video! Does the dying cause soft fabric to feel rougher and/or more rigid?
Hi, great video I just have one question/concern. I would like to dye a polyester satin pink but I see there’s only one pink dye available, based on how long I leave the satin in could I make the color lighter/darker? I would test out small pieces before going all in, but there’s some wiggle room when it comes to shades of colors depending on how long you leave the fabric in, correct? Thanks.
Hi Sofia, that's correct, you can control the lightness/darkness by how long you leave it in the dye. It's a good idea to test it as you said.
Do you have any idea whether this dye is suitable for 100% VISCOSE? I am guessing it is not a natural fibre, so is it right to assume it is a type of polyester? H&M love to use viscose in many of their products...
Viscose is actually a natural material that's produced through a synthetic process. Rayon is made out of viscose. Both Rit DyeMore and the regular Rit All-Purpose dye will work well on viscose/rayon.
Did I miss one, or was there no regular acrylic in there? I have a beanie I want to dye, and the tag says it's 100% Acrylic. Very new to this. This video was a huge help though.
Edit: Can I mix red and blue to get a different purple?
Yes, this dye will work on 100% acrylic. You can definitely mix red and blue or purple and blue or purple and red, depending on the color you're going for. Good luck!
I have a black wool felt but it looks kind of dark greyish. Is there a way I could dye this a dark black ? Thanks.
Yes, but know that wool will shrink when you put it in hot water.
Hi. Is polyester spandex the same as polyurethane fabric?
Can i dye a bright colored satin (green) to navy blue? Will it just work the same? Or do i have to have a white color fabric to begin with?
Try using purple!
Excellent video! Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
What about regular 100% cotton? I want to darken a medium purple tone tank top to be dark purple.
Cotton is not synthetic. The video is for Rit Dyemore Synthetic. Check in to the regular Rit.
Hi, thank you for answering all the questions! I am dying a gown complete with boning, bra cups, lining, and train. What kind of container would work? I can't think of a 64L container that would fit/withstand stovetop. Is it okay to just have hot water in a sacrificial plastic bin? Near boiling high heat would also warp the boning. Any suggestions? I can also take the dress apart and dye it stovetop piece by piece? but then I'm afraid the colours might not match.
The dress also has a petticoat that I will sew on afterwards. Can I do 2 separate dye batches with the same dye or do I have to remake the dye if I'm going to have it for more than an hour?
It would be best to dye the pieces individually on the stovetop. The heat is important for polyester especially. Different materials may dye to different shades, so even if you dye the whole thing together, the different components may come out lighter or darker. By dyeing them separately you might be able to control the shade better by leaving them in shorter or longer depending on how fast the material absorbs the dye. You will have to make a new dye bath after each batch. For a more complete analysis of the results in this video, go to the end of our post about it: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/rit-dyemore-synthetic-fiber-dye/
Thank you so much for taking your time to answer my questions. The video is also amazingly helpful! I'll take the gown apart then, much appreciated!
Hi just wanted to know is this dye ok to go in chlorine? Thanks
Can I dye a green polyester soft sweater into a bright sea blue? How can I do that? Thank you.
If you use blue you could probably achieve a cyan type color, so in theory yes, but it would depend on how dark your sweater is to begin with.
After I died my canvas hat black it's now so shiny, how can I make it less shiny
There is a product called fast fade powder (www.onlinefabricstore.com/rit-fast-fade-powder-1-lb-.htm) You could use that, or you could try leaving your hat out in the sun and wash it a couple of extra times and hopefully that will give you a little more of that faded look.
i have a question....
if i have a black polymere piece and dip that into the purple solution....
can i create a nice purple hue?
You can dye many types of plastic with this dye but hard to say how black polymer specifically would except the dye. I'm guessing you may be able to get a very dark purple. It won't be any lighter than the black but if the black isn't a super dark black, the purple may be visible.
Is your electric stove running full 30min during the dye-ing color process? Or the electric stove is turn off after the desire temperature is reached?
Hi Aym, the stove is on the entire time.
Used a 10 gallon pot with 5 bottles and 5 shirts followed directions and I did it for 1 1/2 hours still didn't work
What fabric dye did you use & what material are your shirts? Is the water nearly boiling. There are a few reasons but I would need more information!
Thankyou SO MUCH!! This was extremely helpful
Glad it helped!
I am trying to dye white satin green and it kept coming up blue is there any way i can stop this?
Hi Shakara, We're not sure, but the folks over at Rit Dye might be able to help! www.ritdye.com/contact/
Hi do you think this dye would work on a Evening gown Scuba 100% polyester gown? My gown is a pastel purple and I would like to dye it an eggplant or plum color.
It should
Thanks for the video, it’s very helpful! Quick question, when you wash the fabric , do you use detergent or just regular dish soap? Sorry if you already answered this and thanks !
You can use regular detergent!
Would you recommend using this Rit synthetic dye or the all purpose dye for a Double Brushed Microfiber material?
Microfiber is usually a polyester or other synthetic fabric so Rit DyeMore would be best.
