A question about dyeing...
Aug. 4th, 2012 09:41 pmSo, I have some gray fabric that needs to be black. It's 70% cotton, 30% rayon. My usual M.O. is to dye on the stovetop in a mix of Rit, Dylon, and salt in a slightly stronger concentration than the package calls for because I've found that gives me a really velvety dark black. Well, I just visited JoAnn's and HOLY CRAP, Dylon is twice as much as Rit! With almost 4 pounds of fabric, I decided to poll any potential experts on my friends list before blowing the budget on dye. I'd like to stick with products I can get locally because I need to get it done this week. I've had several recommendations for Dharma Trading, but after shipping time I'd only have a couple days to get it all done and that makes me a little too nervous. Suggestions?
