It took a total of 4 washes to dye these two dressing gowns - wash, dye, wash, wash machine out! The long one was already purple but very faded and looks so much better:
The short one was a pale turquoise one, but in a different material so came out lighter but still lovely:
Although the machine has been cleaned, I think the next wash in it will have to be a dark one just in case. Also, the first few times I wear these, I might sit on a towel just in case!
It may have been 'expensive' from a washing machine point of view but overall, I think it cost about £10 including the dye, and they are the colour I wanted, so a win win change!
I dyed a whole lot of towels that had seen better days what a difference it makes. The gowns look good.
ReplyDeleteThankyou. I like dyeing things.
