Your dye water should he hot, at least 140 F degrees.

[@RageBearer]

I really wish she had added those type of details, as a newbie Its good knowledge to know exact temps for these kind of things (because they obviously matter)

[@Bluuve]

Thank you. I don't think this was clear on the video. I've only used stovetop or machine wash in order to get hot water.

[@pupoflas9764]

i thought you were talking about celsius

[@Jbum26]

stove top to get it that hot? and how are we supposed to know how much the fabric weighs? It doesn't register on my weight or cooking scale. First time doing this (for a halloween costume) so I want to get it right

[@joshuacheek5140]

Thank you. This was the only reason I watched this video. All I needed to know the temp which was not given on the video.

[@JennetPreston]

Thank you for the informative video. I had to wade through about six "I've never dyed anything before, but I'm going to make an instructional video anyway" versions, so I appreciate the professionalism. And don't worry about the vocal fry. Everything about language changes, including the way people produce sound, and the vocal fry is one of those changes, now widespread among young western women. Since forever, old people have complained about changes in speech, so don't pay us any mind.

[@simonagrigoruta]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I accidentaly dropped some bleach on a pair of gray pants and ruined them. Do you think that could be fixed? The pants are quite new and I like them. I don't want to throw them away. Thank you.

[@onlinefabricstore]

+Simona Grigoruta The bleach may have damaged the fabric, in which case it wouldn't dye properly, but it might be worth a shot. First, reduce the overall color with Rit Color Remover (www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm), then you can go ahead and dye it. Good luck!

Question: I want to do this exact thing to a trench coat. It's beige and I need it to be a dark blue, like in this video. Will this same process work?

[@onlinefabricstore]

Yes, the beige may make the blue a little more muted than if you were dyeing white fabric, but it should still work as long as the fabric is cotton or another natural fiber. Another thing to take into consideration is the water needs to be very hot, so it's possible the coat may shrink somewhat. If it's dry clean only, we don't recommend dyeing it. Also make sure you use a large container with plenty of water so you can move the coat around constantly so it dyes evenly.

[@alaskacosplay]

This is very helpful! What I would do different is use hot water and boil it with salt then let the fabric soak in there for 20 minutes before soaking it in a pot with hot fabric dye water with a mordant such as alum powder. Afterwards I would let the fabric soak in the dye water mix for 24 hours while occasionally stirring it and putting it on the stove to heat it up to a boil then taking it off the heat again so it can cool naturally. I would probably do this over the course of 3 days to a week depending on the amount of fabric I dyed. Afterwards I would probably take out the fabric, rinse it out a bit by hand and then into the washing machine on cold.

[@TheFemaleMac]

Would this work on patterned fabric? I have something that has random orange stains on it (I thrifted) and wanted it all black.

[@onlinefabricstore]

It could work depending on the fabric. We are going to be starting a dye series (the first video is being posted tomorrow) and we will be talking about dying things black so stay tuned!

So, I've never in my life use black jackets before and i don't want to spend more money on jackets (since i have like 20 white jackets total). My question is: I have 2 new jackets and fabric says: 75% polyester 25% cotton. So. I'd like to know if i can do this method shown in this video??? Thank you so much for the help.

Hi!! So I dyed two pairs of nylon sweatpants from grey to black. They are turning out nicely. However, I am afraid that the dye may bleach other clothes when put in the washer/ dryer with them. Do You think I will eventually be able to wash/dry the sweatpants with other clothes in the washer and dryer at some point? Or always keep separate from now on?

[@onlinefabricstore]

I would continue to keep them separate at least for a while. I would always keep them separate from lights but after a while you can probably wash them with darks. If you want to test it, you can throw an old rag in there and see if it bleeds on to it.

[@snowhitechristmas]

Clicked on this video cause I thought you were going to show us how to dye clothes by cooking them with fabric dye (powder texture) and a vinegar. I don't want a dye that fades away after every wash.

[@onlinefabricstore]

This will work with any color! And I would say it totally depends, does the part that you want to preserve. Is it a decal? If so, Rit all purpose will not dye synthetic materials, so you would be fine there. But if you are using Rit Dye More, it would probably dye the material.

Hi Shelby, the amount of water and dye depends on the amount you are dyeing. You want enough water in order for the fabric to move freely. If the fabric bunches up too much, it won't dye evenly. It should be very hot water, the hotter the better!

I have a navy blue canvas backpack and its colour has been faded out. Do you think this product will work? Moreover, my backpack has brown leather straps. Is that problem?

[@mc09y]

Can this work just as well on other fabrics, like rayon or polyester? Also, if something already has another color (e.g. I've got a blush colored dress that I'd love to darken) could I potentially still dye it darker evenly? Or will the already-dyed fibers not want to hold onto the new color so much?

This Rit Dye will work well on rayon, but not polyester. The Rit DyeMore Synthetic Fiber Dye (www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/rit-dyemore-synthetic-fiber-dye/) will dye polyester and other synthetic materials. Yes, you can dye a light colored item darker, but you may want to use Rit Color Remover (www.onlinefabricstore.net/rit-color-remover-powder-.htm) first for best results.

is a whole bottle of rit suggested to dye a hoodie or do you recommend 2 bottles?

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

Thanks for that, I just bought a jacket and wanna dye it black as it's faded in parts. It's a vintage jacket.

Good luck!

@@onlinefabricstore Thanks :-)

[@onlinefabricstore]

@@VinnieCamilleriMusic Of course! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@VinnieCamilleriMusic]

@@onlinefabricstore Should I do it myself or get one of those new things that you put in the washing machine? I think I know what your answer will be lol

[@onlinefabricstore]

@@VinnieCamilleriMusic Doing it yourself is really easy with this method. But also, you can use this same Rit Dye in the washing machine! Here are those instructions from Rit - www.ritdye.com/instructions/how-to-dye-using-the-washing-machine/

i'm trying to dye a muscle suit that's stuffed with foam/stuffing. is this method viable for that as well?

[@onlinefabricstore]

Hi Nikko, I'm guessing the fabric is a synthetic material like polyester, which this dye will not work on. It does work on nylon if it happens to be that. Rit does make a synthetic fiber dye called DyeMore: www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/rit-dyemore-synthetic-fiber-dye/ As to the foam/stuffing, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work, but I can't be certain. You would probably want to start off with plenty extra dye bath since it will absorb it.

[@WhiteRose-ix9ww]

Just to clarify... does it matter what color my material is? Like in this example she uses a white bag but if she used a yellow bag would the outcome still be blue or would it become green?

[@onlinefabricstore]

It would most likely be green. Dying is an experiment and will come out different every time, but a good general rule of thumb is that it will blend with the existing color.
