If your jeans are dark blue– the traditional denim color – they’ll likely have a bluish tinge to them even after you’ve dyed them. You can help combat this by adding orange to counteract the base blue. If they’re a more faded blue, this becomes less necessary but the choice is yours.Add the damp jeans to the dye pot, along with enough water for them to swim freely, but not so much that the pot overflows. Heat the water to 54-60 degrees celsius (130-150 Fahrenheit) Step 5: Add the soda ash, salt, and dye Immediately wipe up any spilled dye powderbefore it has a chance to become airborne or land on something it might stain. Pre-wash your jeans using detergent. If they’ve been worn, use a stain treatment to lift any stains as these may cause your garment to dye unevenly. Let your jeans dry. Step 2: Calculate how much dye you need Turn the heat off, cover your dye pot, and leave it undisturbed overnight, for 12 to 24 hours. At this stage, it will be a moderate to dark brown. If it seems light, you can repeat the process with more walnut hulls.

If you’ve used fiber-reactive dyes and washed out the dye until the water runs clear, there’s very little chance that the dye will fade, but it’s definitely still worth washing your freshly dyed jeans separately from other clothes for the first few washes. All dyes will fade over time if the time frame is long enough, but using fiber-reactive dyes will yield the most permanent, colorfast result. Finally, I’d recommend at least one run through your washing machine alone (without anything you’re worried about staining) to be sure all the dye has washed out. Rit recommends using twice the usual recommended amount of dye for the weight of your fabric, and doubling the recommended time it spends in the dye bath, as well as using the post-dye Color-Stay Dye Fixative. Supplies:in some cases, you may choose to post-mordent a plant fiber with Alum at this stage, especially if the color is not already a deep chocolate brown. Follow the process in steps 3-4, using 4 teaspoons of alum per 100g of fabric, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of washing soda (soda ash). This is not required in all instances, but useful if you’re not seeing the results you want. Write everything down! At a minimum, record the weight of your fabric, weight of dye, weight of fixative/mordant, and the amount of water you used. You can also record the temperature of the dye bath and the length of time it spent in the dye.You never know when you’ll come up with the perfect dye recipe that you’re just *dyeing* to recreate! Whether or not you choose to use fixative, the final step is, as above, to run an entire regular hot wash with detergent to wash the excess dye out of your jeans. Add all ingredients – the dye and the salt, along with the jeans – to the washing machine at the beginning of the cycle.

Most traditional denim is blue but occasionally you’ll find them in different colors. No matter what color your jeans are, the starting color will impact the finished product, even if only a little bit. Most dye instructions and recommended quantities assume you’re starting with a white fabric which will rarely be the case with jeans, so there are a few accommodations you may need to make for your project. Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough warm water for the fabric to move freely. Turn heat on medium. Remove fabric from water. For synthetic fibers, use iDye Poly, which is formulated specifically for polyester, nylon, poly/cotton blends, plastics, and more synthetic options. It can also be used for sublimation transfer techniques and to dye polyester threads used in commercially manufactured garments. Add pre-wetted garments or fabric and bring to a rolling boil. Maintain temperature and stir frequently for ½ to 1 hour. For uniform colour, use constant agitation.

What to read next:

Depending on your fabric, you may wish to follow the in-sink rinse with a run through the washing machine, or even just pop it in for a spin cycle. If you are doing a cotton and silk blend and don’t know whether to add the salt or the vinegar you have 3 options:

For silk add 1/3 cup (78 ml) of white vinegar instead of salt. Do not use the washing machine method for wool as it will felt.

IDye & IDye Poly Instructions

Wash your jeans thoroughly in pH neutral washing liquid, paying special attention to stains. Even if your jeans are new, they should be washed to remove sizing or other finish chemicals from the fabric. You don’t need to dry them after this wash – they can go straight to the mordanting phase. Remove your jeans from the pot, allow them to cool, and rinse thoroughly. Then wash with a pH neutral soap. Rinse in hot water first, then cool water until it runs clear. Wash with a bit of hand soap to be sure all of the dye and fixative have been removed. Protect your hands with long kitchen gloves. You can use surgical gloves in a pinch, but they’re not as long so you might get dye on your forearms. I also suggest an apronto protect your clothes.
