to dye rope

Posted by othyim on Tue 17 Jan 2012 to Do_It_Yourself

I recently coloured some portions of cotton rope.

Here is a nice tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KZYEHWXXW8

I do it slightly different though, I don't use colour/dye that needs to be boiled, and I use a BOTTLE to put the rope in. This gives me the advantage that stirring is quite easy (so the colour is the same intensity everywhere), and also I can start sqeezing the rope quite easily by removing it from the bottle, thus working the dye into the fabric, before giving it a last rinse.

Furthermore, when you are done, please remember to hang the rope HORIZONTALLY to dry!
