How to Dye Fabrics and Textiles
Dying fabrics and textiles can give a whole new look to the fabric, or can help you to coordinate your fabric more easily. While you can dye fabrics like our ancestors did – using natural things like tea (light brown), berries (pink) or onion skins (yellow), there are many fabric and textile dyes on the market that are quite a bit more efficient. Dying fabric is easy, and here’s how it’s done:

• Wash the fabric that will be dyed. You will find instructions for washing the fabric on the box that the dye comes packaged in.
• Mix the dye product according to package instructions. This may involve boiling the dye until it has reached a specific temperature and then allowing the dye to simmer.
• Place the fabric into the pot with the dye. Stir it using a wooden spoon. Allow the fabric to remain in the pot for around five minutes.
• Lift the fabric out.
• Re-submerge it again, allowing it to remain for around five minutes longer.
• Squeeze out any surplus liquid from the fabric. “Set” the dye as directed by the manufacturer’s instructions.
