There are
various methods of dyeing fabric. You can dye your fabric easily with the tools
can be found at every house. There are three main fabric dyeing methods: the
bucket or sink method, the boiling method or the washing machine method.
Before starting
fabric dyeing, it is necessary to check whether the fabric is clean. After
soaking the fabric in warm water, you can proceed to the dyeing process.
Among these
methods, the most practical one is to dye with the help of a washing machine. But
all three dyeing methods give the same result.
In the
boiling method, a pot that is large enough to move easily while mixing the
fabric is preferred. When the water filled in the pot starts to boil, add
powder fabric dye and mix. Then put in the fabric and stir occasionaly. After
10 minutes of stiring, leave the fabric in the water for 30 minutes – 1 hour.
In the bucket or sink method, the fabric is dyed in a bucket filled with water or in a sink with a clogged drain. Dissolve the powder fabric dye with warm water in another bowl and add it into the hot water with 60 degree. Put in the fabric and stir it continously for 10 minutes. After this process, keep the fabric in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour until the desired color is obtained.
In the washing machine method, you add the fabric you want to change the color of to the washing machine. You put the powder fabric dye that you dissolved in hot water in a separate bowl on the upper part and run the program at high temperature so that the fabric is not damaged. When the program is completed, your fabric will have its new color.
