I find that I get more intense, even colors. I also like the liquid RIT Dye versus the powdered, because it's much less messy. Plus it's easier to save and store the leftover liquid dye which you'll have plenty of! It is important to use a pot and tools that are only for dyeing. I picked up this little pot at the thrift store for a few bucks, and my measuring spoons from the dollar store.
In this tutorial I used a small electric burner from Walmart , but you can of course use your stove! You'll also need some plastic gloves, dish soap I love original blue Dawn for dyeing , table salt, a plastic container or small bucket and a spoon to stir with.

Nonetheless, we can promise you Rit won't permanently stain any metal component on your machine. We even launched liquid dye just so that it would be easier to use Rit in your machine. With that much history, you can feel confident that your washing machine will stay dye free for decades to come.

Nylon is a synthetic fiber, but its unique chemistry means that it can be dyed, easily and well, using the same acid dyes that are commonly used on wool and other animal fibers. A typical recipe calls for dissolving dye and salt in enough water to cover the material and allow it to move freely in the pot, adding the material, heat it to a simmer for ten minutes, add vinegar and simmer another ten minutes, then allow to cool gradually and rinse out.
Microwaving or steaming might be used as an alternative form of heat application, if the dye is painted onto vinegar-water-soaked material, as in the case of tie-dyeing nylon. See Dyes for Protein Fibers , under the About Dyes section of this web site, for the rest of the story. Do not expect a color mixed from two or more dyes to produce the same hue on nylon that it does on silk or wool.
