Immersion Technique(if Dyeing Synthetics or Don’t Have Squirt Bottles)

The immersion technique of tie dyeing enables you to dye multiple items at once. This technique is also a great substitute if you do not have any squirt bottles. Plus, if you are dyeing synthetics, this is the technique for you!

Select Your Dye Type

The first step is to check the care tag for the fiber content of the fabric you plan to dye.

If the fabric you plan to dye is a natural fabric (such as cotton, linen silk, ramie or wool), rayon or nylon, then select the instructions for working with Rit All-Purpose Dye below.

If the fabric you plan to dye is synthetic (i.e. fabric containing more than 35% polyester, acrylic or acetate), then select the instructions for working with Rit DyeMore for Synthetics below.
