It's already less-than-perfect, so whatever results you get would be either an improvement or a lateral move...just different.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169732072381476940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-30242181428146182402010-09-03T04:14:10.518-07:002010-09-03T04:14:10.518-07:00I have some streaks on my black fleece that need d...I have some streaks on my black fleece that need dying?

I'd be worried about something clogging something or other in an expesive appliance such as a washing machine. <BR/><BR/>Just my two cents.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02169732072381476940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-71205171641370585312007-09-29T20:14:00.000-07:002007-09-29T20:14:00.000-07:00I was reading your blog about dying cloth and I wa...I was reading your blog about dying cloth and I was wondering if you knew more about using walnuts to die cloth? I wondered if you could use the washing machine just like you do for using RIT dye or if it would leave a residue in the washer which would cause staining to future loads of clothes or even to the washer itself. I was wanting to dye some cream rugs to a darker tannish brown color. I have already used walnuts to make the dye.

It looks like a dryer sheet that you throw in the wash.<BR/><BR/>A family member regularly brings back T-shirts for the boys, when he travels overseas. The boys both love red, and often third-world shirts never hold their color. Lots of pink underwear around here, until I bleach and use the washer sheets. But if I use them the first time, no problem.Liz in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498353122368712840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25192475.post-64459678973037206122007-08-26T05:11:00.000-07:002007-08-26T05:11:00.000-07:00Um, yeah.
