This versatile, easy-to-use dye is ready to deliver vibrant color to almost any type of fabric or natural material. All you need is a washing machine, plastic container, or stainless steel sink to get started.

How to Dye

Step 1: Remove Color (Optional)
If your fabric is already white, you are good to go! If your fabric has an existing color, you can remove it with Rit Color Remover. You can also try overdyeing an existing color (more information on that here).

Step 4: Create a Dye Bath
We generally recommend mixing 4 ounces of dye with three gallons of hot water per pound of fabric. The key is to make sure your dye bath is big enough for the fabric to move freely.
