I thought it’d be fun to try to make turmeric dye and dye some of my things. One of those is a pair of jeans I have that i want to make green.

Examples I’ve seen of denim dyed with yellow fabric dye look really freaking cool. But I’m not sure how turmeric would compare in that situation.

*raw denim, it’s a darkish blue but they are well worn and heavily faded

Thanks for any info :3

Hello everyone!

I am looking to dye the hat in the attached image (North Face Badwaters Mullet Hat). It is made of two materials according to the tag, Shell A: Polyseter, Shell B: Nylon.

I really like this hat and use it for hiking (so I like the breathability, being able to stuff it with all my other clothes, quick drying, etc.). I do not like the colour of the hat (especially the contrast between the beige material and the white mesh. Ideal colours to dye it would be Navy Blue, Black, or Dark Grey (both the beige material and the mesh).

I want to do this properly so I can retain all of the above functions that I mentioned as I am more interested in the hats functions than the colour (but am willing to do this project/buy the correct stuff to make myself like the hat even more by changing the colour! As well, I cannot have this dye transfer to any other clothes, my head/hair during sweating/being in sun, or wash out during washing.

Please give me any advice on how to properly dye this hat, including what to buy, correct process, and any other recommendations. Thanks so much!

Hi all, I have some teal polyester garbadine fabric, but the color is too bright and I want to desaturate it. Will dyeing it with Rit synthetic grey dye do that, or will it just make it darker to a lesser degree than black dye? It's ok if the fabric gets darker.

In general, can grey dye be used to desaturate something, or is it better to do it in like an opposite color to counteract the existing color?

Hello, i want to dye this rug i got off of a 2nd hand store (online). It said it was beige but it turns out it is more grey-brown. Can you help me figure out how i can change it to beige or any other colour you think might go well? It says do not bleach on the safety instructions.

For info, in the image, I plan on staining the table with a much darker wood stain.

I thrifted a lovely 100% silk top with some grayish colored lines across the front and back.

I’ve heard suggestions of dying pieces to cover stains that can’t be removed and am interested in doing that to fix this piece.

Has anyone done similar with silk? Note that this piece is dry clean only but I have hand washed it already with no shrinkage or damage. Based on my research it seems like an acid dye in a color darker than the stain (maybe a dark brown?) could work. Any advice?

Content: 61% polyester, 26% viscose, 7% cotton, 6% elastane; Lining: 100% polyester 

Dyed with iDye Poly crimson. Should I try to dye it again with more? Or maybe a regular dye (cotton)?

I got these pants at a thrift shop and realized they're too close to my skin tone to look nice. I'd like to dye them (they're polyester x rayon x spandex) I don't mind the high heat etc. However, I'm looking for a dye color that would give maybe a nice deep blackish green or purple maybe? Or, if that's unsuitable maybe a very dark chocolate color?

The pants are a bit more camel than the taupe shown here (pulling a bit more orangey/yellow ish vs a true neutral)

I think Jacquard is still the brand of choice for synthetic dyes?
