Clear the area around your burner, that way you have enough room to manipulate the fabric and nothing gets ruined if some of the dye accidentally spills out.
While handling dye, make sure to wear rubber gloves so you don’t stain your hands. If you’re tinting non-natural fabrics like nylon, add up to 1 cup (240 ml) of white vinegar. If you’re dyeing natural fabrics like silk, add in a similar amount of salt instead. This will make the solution more effective.
Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of vinegar and another 2 cups (470 ml) of hot water if you’re dyeing nylon or silk.
You do not need to remove your fabric between washes.
