Q: Will this cover a bleach stain ?

submitted by Ctromb - 10 days ago
  • A: Bleach damages the fibers in fabric so there is a chance that when you try to dye over it, the stain will look lighter.

Q: Aside from adding vinegar to the dye bath, are there additional steps or precautions to prevent shrinkage when dyeing wool? Thank you in advance. :)

submitted by Nancy R - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi Nancy, Wool shrinks with heat and agitation so I’d recommend a low temperature dyebath and being careful not to wring or squeeze the wool while dyeing and to lay flat to dry. Here is a link to dyeing instructions https://www.ritdye.com/instructions/how-to-dye-natural-fabrics/

submitted by James Lee - 2 years ago
  • A: We generally recommend half of a bottle per pound of fabric mixed with three gallons of water. If you are looking to get as deep of a black as possible, we would recommend doubling the dye used (so a full bottle).

    I have to wear all black to work. When my fav items start to fade I put 1-3 bottles of this in the washing machine with my work clothes to freshen them up. Works great and they come right back to life. The dye will stain your washer so I always run a bleach load right after. Also they dye will bleed out and stain its neighbors for many washes afterward so I always sort the black/dyed items from anything I don’t want stained. Been doing this for decades with no plans in stopping.

    Looked good before washing (black) & even used the second Rit product to help with color retention. Did 60 minutes in the dye with the stove top method. Still came out purple. Dyed my white doc a tot because toddler took black dry erase marker to it & couldn’t get it out. Stained area that was cleaned with alcohol & wood cleaner took black the best 🤦♀️

    I'm guessing that success depends on the color you pick and the fabric you are using. I used the Black dye on 2 sets of 100% cotton sheets and pillowcases that had gotten a bit dingy, and one set turned out kind of purpleish, and the other turned out a bit greenish. Why? Who knows... I used the right amount of dye, and near boiling water, stirring well, and leaving the items in the dye bath fo a very long time, so who knows why the two sets of sheets are now different colors. However, it is still better than "dngy." Just an FYI, you should buy more bottles than you think you need. in order to get decent color saturation.

    When it comes to dyeing fabrics, Rit has been a trusted name in the industry for decades. Today, I'll be reviewing their 8oz All Purpose Dye in the color Black. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a DIY enthusiast, this dye offers versatility and reliable results. First and foremost, the intensity of the black color achieved with Rit's All Purpose Dye is remarkable. The dye saturates fabrics thoroughly, delivering a deep, rich black hue that is sure to impress. Whether you're revamping an old garment or customizing fabric for a creative project, this dye provides a truly opaque and even coverage. One of the standout features of this product is its versatility. The Rit 8oz All Purpose Dye is suitable for a wide range of fabric types, including cotton, linen, silk, nylon, and more. This adaptability makes it a go-to choice for various dyeing projects, as it allows you to work with multiple materials without the need for different dyes. It's worth noting that this dye is not intended for use on polyester, acrylic, or acetate fabrics. Another positive aspect is the ease of use. The dye comes in a convenient 8oz bottle, which is enough for dyeing small to medium-sized fabric items. The instructions provided are clear and concise, making the dyeing process straightforward for both beginners and experienced users. Additionally, the dye is compatible with various dyeing techniques, such as immersion, tie-dye, and even dip-dyeing. This versatility gives you the freedom to experiment and unleash your creativity. The colorfastness of Rit's All Purpose Dye is commendable. After dyeing, the color remains vibrant and resists fading, ensuring your fabric maintains its stunning black shade even after multiple washes. However, it is always recommended to follow the care instructions for your specific fabric to ensure long-lasting results. While Rit's All Purpose Dye is undeniably a top-quality product, it's important to mention that it may not be suitable for achieving extremely precise or custom shades of black.

In conclusion, Rit 8oz All Purpose Dye in Black is a reliable and versatile option for anyone looking to dye fabrics. With its intense black color, compatibility with various fabric types, and user-friendly application, it delivers consistent results. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a professional crafter, this dye is a valuable addition to your creative arsenal.
