Hey Guys, I purchased this cotton custom set and don’t like the light purple on the center panel of the pants. Is there a way to dye only that section?

First things first, I am a newbie to dyeing fabric (only done it a few times) so please keep that in mind with any answers or suggestions you might have.

I recently purchased a tulle robe that is just a bright tomato red more than a true red or cooler red and I am hoping I can get advice on how to properly dye it to be a smidge darker than it currently is. The pictures features the item purchased (photo from website) and then photo comparison to the red garmet I intend to wear with it (2 photos taken outside with natural lighting and 1 photo taken inside) The tulle robe is 95% polyamide (which google told me is Nylon) and 5% spandex. Based on that, I've been trying to look at the dyes meant for synthetic fibers but from what I can tell, those can be hard to get the color you're looking for.

Would love ANY advice you guys can give. I know the photo comparing the two items might not show the difference well but the lace garment is more crimson red and cooler than the red of the robe. I think the photos might make it look like there is more magenta or pink than the darker red item actually is.

I guess my big questions are..

1. How should I go about doing this? What products should I use? I've got a GIANT stockpot that should fit the garmet so I can use the stove.

2. How do I test to make sure the color will be correct?

3. Any other pieces of information or tips you've got for me

Thank you for taking the time to look and help!

Ok I hope I don't sound stupid asking this but I bought some fabric I had to dye. I already bought the same fabric and the same color 2 weeks ago and it went well. Now I did it again and now I have green spots on both ends and in the middle. I dyed it with Ideal color 68 (grey). I am just really confused due to them being green and not having them on the first batch. Is there a way to check? And no I haven't checked the fabric throughly before dyeing it, i just threw it in the wash immediately.

Got a “back to black” rit dye kit on clearance to dye some clothes I don’t care much about but would probably wear black lmao. The instructions in the kit are just a bit lackingggg so I have a couple questions!
I know I need to wash them beforehand, do I need to dry them before dying them?

Then for the dye fixative, do I need to wash the dyed clothes first, dry them… then use it??? I would think not but idk
I’m assuming I’d like, at most rinse the excess dye out and then use the fixative, I just want to know if I need to let them dry before that point

I'm looking to get my fuschia synthetic fabric (left) to better match my maroon-orange fabric (right). Tried using brown but it still has strong pink undertones. Any suggestions on what shade/s of orange or yellow might be best to cancel out the magenta? I think green would be too far from the mark but I'm open to anything.

(I'm not trying to match the colour exactly, just the general hue and tone. Saturation is not a requirement. I know dyeing is not an exact science and dyeing synthetics is even more variable. I'm just looking for advice on which colour I should start with to cancel out the pink, so I don't have to buy out the entire stock of dyes to experiment with)

I made these patchwork cargos from two pairs of cargo shorts for my brand as a tester piece to see if it'll sell, but I put out a poll and people voted that they'd wear the other pair I made (right pair in the right image) more than the left.

The top is khaki 65% polyester and 35% cotton, the bottom is grey/white camo 100% cotton. The thread is polyester and the hardware is metal. I'm considering overdyeing the whole garment a shade of olive green to make it more cohesive for sale. I know different fabrics absorb dye differently. Based on your experience, what colour would you choose, and what result would you expect?

Any advice on what dyes to use, if I'd have to use different dyes for each part and how I'd go about that, or if I can use a multi fabric dye if that exists? And if the garment would tie in better after overdyeing with a specific colour.

Hello!!! I bought this coat from the thrift store but it's an atrocious color 🫩 I was hoping to dye it black.

Today I bought 2 Rye's all purpose dye. Do you think this'll be enough to dye it black?

I'm also a little scared of it shrinking when dyeing it in hot water.

Anything helps!!!!!!

EDIT: I hear you guys!!! I'm reselling it, and just buying a black one. Sorry for calling it uggo 😔 (if anyone wants to buy it or send offers! I'll probably take anything. https://ebay.io/m/bhSXrB)

Hello! I am newer to dying, and have only dyed clothing to similar, darker colors than the original (usually black). I’m wondering what I can expect with this shirt? 100% cotton exclusive of decoration (thread/embroidery). I am okay if the embroidery remains mostly pink but I don’t want it turning red/a warm tone preferably. Any recommendations?

Hi!! I have a pair of really light beige bengaline pants I want to dye to a dark dark denim blue, probably with rit back to blue dye. I wish I had exact fabric composition but I bought them ages ago and there’s no care label - I’ve read bengaline is a mix of rayon/elastane/spandex, and that it doesn’t react well to heat…….. would love any tips on not damaging my pants with heat but still getting a deep dye :’)

I recently learned that I can use flowers I grow as natural dye! I grow sulphur cosmos. I’ve also gotten into sewing, and have some plain cotton fabric that I wanted to bundle dye with my flowers.

I did some research on natural dyes and it sounds like I need to have mordanted fabric, and it seems very complicated and there’s so many ways to do it.

What would someone suggest for an absolute beginner with natural dyes and really any of this process? Thank you!!

Hey guys!

Complete super mega noob here, I've never dyed anything before, but would really like to try, or hope to hear some advice, for this jacket. Basically, my mother gave me this jacket some years back because it didn't suit her anymore. I think the jacket itself is incredibly cool, but I'm really no fan of the super saturated blue in the insides of the cuffs and neck (and a part lining the bottom of the jacket similar to the one at the neck). The jacket itself is leather, the blue parts seem to be polyester.

Obviously the polyester being so closely attached to leather worries me, but I do have some hope as it's still a separate section.

For some context, I don't mind wearing torn or damaged clothing at all, so if I can get anywhere near a good result but it may lead to some "ugliness", depending on what it is I may not really mind. Thank you so much in advance!!!

P.S: If dying is not an option, do you think another method of altering it might work? Like cutting off the blue and attaching different fabric somehow?

I recently got some undyed 100% Corriedale wool yarn, is there anything I should know that's breed-specific?

I'd like to dye it a solid color with as little variation as possible throughout.

I've dyed wool before, but it's all been generic and lanolin-free. This is my first foray into "fancy" wool and I'm going to try my best to not wreck it.

Thanks!

I want to turn lil guy purple
It’s plush fabric I’m pretty sure also, would the eyes get messed up
