How do you dye a cotton shirt??

[Dall_Piobaire]

Absolutely essential to use salt!
Also absolutely essential to wear gloves - unless you just fancy a pair of red hands to match your outfit!
Oh, also from experience, do NOT use the dye available for tie dying! It will fade like crazy and very quickly. Great for craft projects, lousy for nicer items that need a more solid dye! Good luck!

Oh, I thought the soda ash kept the dye from fading. Glad you said that Lady MacKay!
