Instructions
  1. Before dyeing, remove any visible stains on the fabric. This will help achieve uniform color results when dyeing. Prewash item in warm, soapy water without any fabric softener. This helps to remove any finishes that may interfere with dye absorption.
  2. Lay damp fabric out on a flat surface.
  3. Pinch a section of the fabric or where you want the center of the circle to be. Pull it up toward you to make a tee-pee shape. Then pull up more of the fabric for a larger circle. Close one hand around the point and tie it off with a rubber band; then add rubber bands down the length of it. Repeat to bind multiple sections.
  4. Now it is time to create your dyebath.
  5. Cover work area around stove with plastic table cover or newspaper and have paper towels handy to protect against any possible spills.
  6. Fill a stainless steel pot with three gallons of hot water.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon of dish detergent to help promote level dyeing.
  8. As a general guideline, one bottle of Rit DyeMore will dye up to two pounds of dry fabric. If dyeing 100% polyester or trying to achieve a very bold color, double the dye quantity.
  9. Cover pot and heat water on stove top to just below boiling (or 180°F / 82°C).
  10. Wear rubber gloves to protect hands from getting stained and to insulate them when working with hot water.
  11. When water begins to simmer, add well-shaken dye and mix well.
  12. Immerse your wrapped fabric in the dyebath for 4 to 10 minutes, up to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Allow more time if dyeing 100% polyester. The longer the fabric is in the dye bath, the darker the color will be. Please note that fabric will look darker when wet and will dry lighter.
  13. When desired color is achieved, remove wrapped fabric from the dyebath. Squeeze out excess dye.
  14. Rinse in warm water and then gradually cool water until rinse water begins to run clear.
  15. Carefully remove rubber bands with a scissors and unfold the fabric.
  16. Wash in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.
