Dyeing A Cotton/Polyester Hoodie

cotton

Hello,
I am new to dyeing and have a red 50% cotton/50%polyester hoody that I would like to dye brown. I am from Canada and don’t know what brand of dyes to choose. I know Rit is readily available.

Dear Aleasha,
this is going to be hard to do. First, the polyester content of your hoody will not take the dye at all. Next, you’ll be mixing colors, so you’ll basically get red-brown. If you like the idea of a mix, you could try it. Rit is not a very intense dye, but it is quite easy to use. If you want to try something else, you could check out the instructions and supplies at www.dharmatrading.com.
good luck,
Jennifer
