How to dye clothing & hats

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is how you dye a piece of clothing, or a cotton hat in this case.
1st) wash your garment. Then get some gloves on and we’ll get to work!
2nd) 3 gallons of hot hot water (140 degrees F is what we’re aiming for) and add your dye. Rit recommends using the ‘paper towel test’ to ensure that the color is what you were aiming for. To do this dip a piece of paper towel into your dyed water and check the color.
3rd) add 1 tsp of dish soap, NOT LAUNDRY DETERGENT, and 1 cup of salt. Both of these will help ensure the dye provides a move uniform coating. Mix thoroughly and now its time to DYE!!!
Throw in your garment and make sure they are mixed often. AFter about an hour you should be complete.
4th) Rinse until the water runs clear, I recommend washing after, otherwise that dye will be loose which can be a problem.

    it is important to wet the piece before dying it, especially if the piece is big, use just water. Since it is already soaked, the dye will enter more easily and evenly :) enjoy

    I dye almost everything. I'm a bigger guy who likes wearing items that are fitted so finding things that fit both my body and my unique sense of style are fairly rare. With the dye, I can focus on finding items that fit and have good structure and usually patina dye them into matching my style. There are also a lot of color mixing apps out there now (including one on the RIT Dye website) that let you find the mix of dyes needed to reach any given color you're shooting for. My veteran dying tip would always be to use the stovetop method unless you're dealing with stuff like wool and other fabrics that can't take the heat. For those, you can substitute time for heat. I usually use a propane gas hot plate with a huge stainless steel pot, an infrared thermometer to check the temps and a large pair of barbecue tongs and vinyl gloves to stay clean.

    You absolutely must wash the item beforehand, otherwise the dye won't evenly distribute over the clothing article. Even if the item is brand new, wash it first. Dying clothing is an art, the tough part is eliminating the potential for dark and light spots. Use very hot water, wear rubber gloves, and keep moving the item for half an hour. It's boring, and you'll want to stop after ten minutes. Don't.

    PRO TIP!! After you remove your black dyed piece… rinse it with cold water… put it immediately into a another bucket of hot water with RIT COLOR STAY!!!! COLOR STAY will further enhance the richness of the color as it suggests it makes the color stay and attach, let it sit for a minute or so, keep an eye on it, and swap back and forth with the dye color and color stay. I’ve done this on white air forces 1s, as soon as I would remove the shoes from the dye, the color would look good, but after rinsing it the color would fade off, but when using the color stay it would make the color darker.

    I improve my black /navy clothes periodically by pouring a jar of this bottled dye mixed with a bit of hot water and the salt directly into my washing machine drum. Fill washer with hot water, add clothes needing a revamp and run on the longest wash with cold rinses...select extra rinse if available, otherwise when the cycle is done do a Rinse only cycle. Then dry in dryer.

    Try treating the sweat stains as an oil stain before dyeing. As there are oils that come from our skin as well and in deodorant that make sweat stick to fabrics even more. I like to pretreat with ammonia (dissolves grease) and dish soap or dish soap and baking soda seem popular as well.
