Hand Dyed Diapers...

[tj25]

I am interested in hand dyeing (sp?) my own diapers. Does anyone have any imput on this that they could share??

I'm not sure what kind of dye or process to use or what kind of effects it has on the actually cpf's use. Links would be helpful too. I googled it but didn't get much. TIA!

The dye and process depend on the fabric ...

The sewing and crafts forum has quite a few threads in it discussing all varieties!

Enjoy ...dyeing is FUN!

`Thanks, I am new here and navigating is a bit challenging!

in a nutshell the easiest thing is to use procion mx dye, and to base the amount of dye on the weight of the fabric (called wof in directions). if you just get basic mixing colors, you can make anything you want

ok, thanks for the help. Where can I buy the procion dye?? I heard Dharma Trading...does someone have link to that?? Thanks again!

We have a Hobby Lobby by us, and it carries fiber reactive dyes. There's not as many color choices as Dahrma's, but it's quicker.
