Hi! In this video I am dying all my old clothes black using Rit dye. I tried a variety of items like bathing suits, pants, and sweaters.

I'm actually really into the grey leopard print bathing suit !
Time to break out the camping cauldron
what happens when you wash them? Does the color run and get on other clothes
i relate to you a lot lol 😂
you’re supposed to remove colors like on the purple pants the black and purple mixed so it created that
also i think there is a vinegar addition that helps out
I dyed 20 of my tshirts with 2 black dylon pods, I just wanted to dye the stains away lol every item was a different colour of blue dispite being all cotton.
You can't see all the stains on any of them but you'd think the colours would be the same
We learning through you! 😊
Great tutorial! Definitely to dye for!!😺
I want to do this. 😍
How often would you ware them?
The synthetic are supposed to be cooked at 200 degree C
fron where we can buy this type of dye
What can I do if I don't have the required dye to dye my faded black clothes?
I thing you just mixed together different types of dyes for different fabrics in one. One bottle – black-was more for cottons, jet black dyes mostly only cottons, the other-graphite is gray and it's for synthetics only. I didn't see you use vinegar or salt. Basically you should read instructions carefully before starting… One mistake and the result is not what you wanted. Good luck next time…:)
I see this is an old video but definitely needed to do the synthetics fabrics on stove top like the instructions say! I also don't recommend diluting the dye with water for swimwear!
I own one white shirt, 80% of my closet is black, grey, silver… Mostly black, I have one pair of purple jeans and 2 pairs of blue jeans. I mostly wear jewel tones, if ai wear colors at all. I have rules… So I wear dark chocolate brown with black, and will wear red with black. You will never see me in brown/red shirt with blue jeans. So if I wear blue or purple jeans it is with a black shirt. I just feel uncomfortable… Exception is underwear… All bras are nude or black.
I love the leopard print!! Two toned black would have looked cool too!
hello i have this hoodie (yellow’ish) and i really like the color. is there anyway i can just put another plain white hoodie to transfer the color in the washing machine? like make it bleed its color? i hope anyone can help me :<
Thought I could have more clothes this way I can renew some clothes & be distinct.
I "liked" the video when you said, yes I'm using a back scratcher to mix" 😂😂😂
Thank you for this, doll! ❤️
hunter green sports bra with steel bathing suit bottom. SYNTHETICS resist dyeing. I like the leopard with gray much better. Thank you for this honest experiment.
Hopefully you still check messages for this video haha. Done a proper stupid thing and wore expensive jumper to work and of course managed to get mysterious greyish streak on it and tried washing it with no success really. It's basically a plan black hoodie but with hot of red around the logo so would only want to dye a portion of the hoodie. Just wondering are all black dyes pretty much the same colour? Because my plan is to just dye the stain but I need to know if it would match the black of the hoodie. Thanks
Me "looking at my wardrobe of clothes & constipating on dying all my pieces" 🤗🤗🤗
Btw 70% of clothes I have are black already, but I would like to dye those that are easily looking faded.
This is fucking genius. I threw away a shit ton of clothes and I wish I’d done this.
From what I've seen you get better results if you ad either s cup of salt or vinegar, depending on the fabric
Graphite is a dark gray. Jet is darker than black. It's a dark black
Watching these kind of videos, I appreciate that you are one of the few who took time to show the actual results (and failures).
I have to wonder about this whole dye business though. As a professional painter, I can pretty much guarantee you if I wore any of your clothes for long enough while working I would get them to absorb all kinds of different colors. I'm seriously wondering if I should just try to paint some of my clothes the color I want them 😋
Thanks for this educational piece!✌️
Add a cup of salt with your dye. Polyester, nylon does not grab to black Rit dye. I’ve never dyed a white cotton shirt so I’m doing a bit of research before I do it.
