ive been looking into buying fabric dye to dye a pair of nylon gloves and stockings green for halloween. but everywhere i look the dye is the wrong shade or not for synthetic dyes

is there a way i can made my own dye to colour synthetic fibres?

can i mix acrylic paint and fabric softener and just sorta paint it?? does that work on thin fabrics?

i dont know much about dyeing dont bully my lack of knowledge if this is a dumb question lol

it's 92% viscose and i'd like for it to remain pink but more muted/soft, its super bright almost pastel neony irl. can i achieve this by tinting it with only black rit dye? and how do i go about it?

today i dyed these jeans (99% cotton) from white to ?black?

i created a mixture of navy + black (goal pic for reference) but unfortunately it is too dark and purple. there are also some light patches (pictured)

what should my next move be? i Would like for them to be lighter, should i try the rit dye remover? followed by a round of navy? i still have half a bottle of black, and half a bottle of navy dye.

hi! so i have this kneepad in the top colour which is a little bright and too orangey for my skin tone. i wanna alter it to look somewhat like the bottom which is a more natural nude for my skin tone. i'm planning to get indigo synthetic dye and dilute it A LOT and dunk these bad boys in. is this a good idea?

the main body of the kneepad and the strap are neoprene fabric, the inside is cotton towel fabric (don't really care about the inside)

I used Knit Picks Aloft in Oat (72% Mohair & 28% Silk) and Palette in Oyster Heather (pure wool - not superwash). It's a bit to close to my skin tone to wear regularly. I'm thinking a rose pink color. Is there a type of dye or process you suggest to make sure it doesn't shrink? I like the fit.

Hello hive mind. I am a yarn dyer and I am considering adding in embroidery thread to my profile. Where are we all getting undyed embroidery thread? tia

It's been a minute since I've dyed and I've only done this coffee method once years ago. Does anybody know how long I should keep it in for to get a nice, mid-tone color (think caramel)

For context, I'm dying a piece of shapewear that's this light tone (kinda like this) and I put about 5-6 spoonfuls of coffee ground into a mesh bag. I'm boiling it in a steel stockpot on my stove and I put in Cascade and salt to make the color stay. It's been dyeing for about 44 minutes now and it's still just a little darker, but not the color I want.

I'll keep checking it intermittently, but how long should I keep it in for? Should I add something else?

Knitter aficionados PLEASE DONT flame me for the felting I brought forth on this sweater… it was an unavoidable casualty of an even dye job.
Anyways, I had another crack at dying my discoloured grey-yellow, turned punch-you-in-the face-green sweater, and I’m happy with the results!! I used 1 bottle of royal blue, and about 1/3-1/2 bottle of wine red RIT dye, which made a lovely indigo. Colour theory FTW.

Basically have a wedding next week, dress finally came but not as the colour advertised. What is the best way to go about dying this green if I can? I know over grey it will be muted but I'm okay with that, prefer an earthy muted colour anyways!

I've included a photo with the tag on what the fabric composition is.

Thank you🙏

The hoodie is 60% cotton and 40% polyester

Which Rhit dye can I use to get close to it if not exact?

I have this cloak from my early reenactment days, that I would love to dye but I am very scared to mess it up, since it’s dry clean only.

Composition:
75,10% wool
12,95% polyester
6,93% nylon
3,37% cotton
1,65% viscose

My original plan (before I found what it is made off) was to dye it in a pattern of different blue and teal hues.

I would absolutely settle for a midnight blue, though.

From my quick online search I figure I will only be able to dye the wool parts (and possibly cotton), correct?
If so, what kind of results can I expect?
I would not mind a dark blue with brown melange-type look.

Especially thankful for any tips on what dye to use, that is available in Germany/Europe.

Hello there! I have this 100% cotton shirt in mustard yellow that I'd like to dye brown or anthracite grey.

I know the stitching probably won't absorb the dye, since it's likely made of polyester, so do you have any suggestions? what colour should I dye my shirt and which dye should I use? thank youuuu!

Hello everyone, I have a question for people from europe, where did you buy yarn for dyeing? I never dyed yarn before, and local shops is soooo expensive. Im afraid to buy expensive yarn and end up with all shades of brown merino 😆 Im living in Germany. Plan to use acidic dye.

I saw this trench coat on Desigual, and I am obsessed with the blue to red color shift happening here.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could do this at home? My first guess is to play around with airbrushing that's sprayed over a dark denim (cotton) from a horizontal direction (like an overspray?) so that it would catch the fibers at an angle, but i have never tried something like that, so I have no idea if that is a reasonable starting point. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

How do I dye this shirt pale butter yellow? It’s 95% polyester and 5% elastane. I’m afraid I will mess up the stretch or shape bc of the heat. As well as what brand of dye should i get?

I sun dried this and the color faded on one side .. I want to dye it and make it look even but I don't know if I should buy royal or navy blue

Plz help if you know

Chatgpt suggested 90% synthetic Rit racing red + 10% synthetic Rit apricot.

I’m so scared because it’s for two bridesmaid dresses that I can’t afford to replace if it doesn't work.

They are purplish burgundy chiffon and I need them to be reddish burgundy.

Any suggestions or tips? would you simmer for shorter time since I just need the hue slightly changed?

Note: 100% cotton. I don’t need the bleach spot to necessarily be completely undetectable since it’s in kind of a hidden place anyways, just looking to make it less noticeable.

Hi, so I am attending a wedding in two weeks and recently realised the intended dress I was going to wear is far too big. The only dress I have that fits is an old prom dress, and because of the deep red colour I don't know if it’s acceptable to wear to a wedding. My family is not traditional, but I would hate to wear something with bad omens attached. Realistically I would like to dye this to a deeper purple maybe, and would like advice on how to/ if it's possible to dye. The theme is best dressed, and if people think that it's fine as is then I will leave it.

Hi! I just got a really cute pastel pink dress and I’m wanting to dye it a light purple. I was just wondering if I should use color theory and use a light blue dye or use a purple and just use less and leave the dress in for less time? It’s a polyester blend if that affects anything! This is my first time dying something that isn’t white so any tips would be nice!

Jeans are 100% cotton and I would like to make them look like they’re part of a set with this jacket
