“A new color… a glorious color… so easy now for any fabric with All Purpose Rit”
“You don’t even have to know what your fabric is (and many of the new ones would fool you!) – all you need to know is that All Purpose Rit will dye it perfectly. Nylon, Celanese, Sharkskin or mixtures all come out of a Rit color bath looking their loveliest.”

"If it was up to me, the whole world would be candy colored! I’ve partnered with Rit to celebrate #RitTurns100 and recreated one of their 1950s ads with a modern twist. I transformed a retro inspired fit-and-flare white dress with a dash of their Kentucky Sky dye and it turned the most beautiful, icey pastel blue hue!"

“Color-drench your playclothes in ALL PURPOSE RIT”
“Take to flagrant, rampant color for a summer under the sun – and do it easily, at little price with All Purpose Rit. Connive with last year’s faded things. A snip here, a stitch there turns them into pretty sun fashions. Then refresh them, revive them in a bath of pungent color – shrill pink, strong turquoise, tropic green. Pick for your favorites – but be sure to use All Purpose Rit.”

“I’m so happy to be partnering with @ritdye and celebrating their 100th birthday! They are not only American made for 100 years, but non-toxic and environmentally friendly as well. Now that I have seen how easy it was I will be using them on the regular in our home!”

"This project was especially fun for me since I’m obsessed with mid-century advertisements and even keep a collection of them for inspiration. I picked this one because the dining room set up reminded me a lot of my own, particularly the top right corner version. I already planned on dyeing curtains to match my artwork, so I went all-in and dyed a tablecloth and cloth napkins as well."

“Bring it all together…tie-dye with Rit!”
“Tie-dyeing does it! It makes your whole room as up-to-the-minute as you are. It’s so easy, too, with Rit Dye! The flag colors you see here are from a whole parade of Rit colors — all fabulous. So pick the ones that are as much you as your horoscope and make that room really yours!”

“I didn’t buy it. I dyed it!”
“For a ‘garden look’ in my kitchen, I dyed a rug, curtains and placemats Rit Kelly Green in the washer. Brushed the wicker planter and chairs with hot concentrated Rit Golden Yellow. Dyed the napkins, too! I made a felt flower valance to complete the garden look.”
1969
“How to beat the high cost of decorating.”
“It’s so easy to transform a room with simple Dye-Craft techniques and Rit Dye. You can Dye-Craft cotton sheets and make an imaginative patchwork room divider. A window shade becomes a showpiece covered with Dye-Craft patchwork. And dyeing solid colors, even a rug, is push-bottom easy in your washer. Try Dye-Craft. It’s fun and so rewarding!

“If pink isn’t your favorite color, we have 34 others.”
“Want to update your wardrobe? Just add Rit dye to your washing machine. But don’t stop there. Rit is perfect for dyeing fabrics of all kinds, invigorating everything from jeans to curtains to comforters with rich, vibrant color. Chances are if you can imagine it, you can dye it. So for a colorful change, get Rit dye.”

“I got wind that @ritdye was seeking creators to revision some of their vintage ads in celebration of their 100th birthday and I couldn’t resist signing up and enlisting the help of my resident fashionista and crafter extraordinaire, Loretta. Together we dyed her sweater, her hat and her pants (tie dyed, thank you very much) and Dot’s sweater. Loretta personally hand crafted the flowers on the window as well.”
