"They will not get black, neon, and it’s impossible without having machines that can handle those high temperatures." "A home-dyer will not achieve dark or bright colors on those fibers," explains Breining. Polyester and Acetate: These are the most difficult fibers to dye, because they have to be treated above the boiling point at 280 degrees.
DYE FABRIC WITH INDIA INK HOW TO
If you haven't so much as thought about dipping your hands into a pot of dye since those Camp Mataponi art classes, not to worry-I tapped a real-life dye expert John Breining of NYC's Metro Dyeing to share his tips on how to dye clothes. And not only will DIY dyeing help you create an entirely new wardrobe for yourself for like, $0, it's also a sustainable (and chic) way to hold on to pieces that might have otherwise ended up in the garbage. Think of it as the grown-up version of summer camp tie dye projects you loved as a kid, but with patterns that actually turn out the way you want them to. While learning how to dye clothes may feel like an intense undertaking (and, it's worth noting, there are professionals out there who will do it for you) it's actually a whole lot easier than it seems. But instead of putting it out to pasture, why not give it new life by way of a fresh dye job? What was once a cute going out top then turned into a sleep shirt, then a workout top, and finally something you wouldn't be caught dead in unless you were maybe painting your living room (completely alone, that is). If I was a betting woman, I'd put a good amount of money down on the fact that anyone reading this right now likely has an old, ratty white T-shirt buried at the back of their drawer.
