Dye

[eillia]

janelle, what type of dye do you use? thinking of dyeing my prefolds when i have the motivations!

precion. it's very good. i've washed my clothing and nappies several times and still no fading. the colours are so vibrant. i've bought some dyed nappies that fades after few washes. but not cheap also lah. i pd like $50AUD for 300g of dye fr a co-op. a starter kit cost about 19-29$AUD. there are other dyes i saw online but cant comment coz nvr use them. i used to dye my taekwando belt when i was in high school with Dylon dyes. the dye bleed at every wash!

Thanks for sharing this, Janelle. Surprised to hear about Dylon since they're a big name (the ONLY name?) in the market.

I wanna try dying this fav white MEV nursing top I have. It's a cotton + lycra blend - any tips??? Don't want to make it a tye-dye though as it's my only decent, least grungy-looking top LOL

i dyed a nursing singlet, the stretchy type. dont know if got lycra or just elastane. dye fine but not the border bit (feels more like bra material, shiny & stretchy, tht doesnt absorb the dye). suggest look at how many percent cotton is ur top. if 80% or more may b ok. then again i can guarantee as i am no expert.
