dying prefolds

[mama k nj]

Any tips?

I have procion dyes from Dharma and all the fixins. I'm wondering if I need to do anything special to fix the colors so they can stand up to urine and hot washing.

Thanks!

You just need to follow the instructions and use the soda ash (available through Dharma or easily at pool supply shops) to fix the dye. I also dyed my prefolds this way and they really stand up to hot washes with very little fading. Have fun!
