If you’ve bought something vintage in black that looks more lie grey, then put it into the washing machine with Dylon’s Fabric Colour Dye Kit and 500g salt, then run on a cool cycle.
TIP FOR RECYCLED BLACK CLOTHING…

I set up Crafted By B Studio after retiring from writing a blog for over 10 years on chronic pain. As a chronic pain sufferer myself I had always used art as a way to relax and take me away from my pain and stumbled upon paint by numbers by fluke. I was hooked from day one and went into custom paint by numbers as I progressed with my others. Over the past 3 years I have completed over 20 pieces and also made some of my own unique pieces. I am happy to help anyone who might like a custom picture made into a piece of beautiful art using this type of technology. I am also interested in lots of different types of crafts which I enjoy with my 4 grandchildren so my site will have lots of links and posts on mixed crafts and arts. View all posts by barmac5

I was wondering which type I should use when I read this as I was worried about the washing machine. I have a bag load of black linen that I wanted to re dye. Should I use a bucket instead do you think? x

My husband likes black colour and he often buys shirts and dye them in black. I feel sorry for our washing machine. The dyeing process is quite complicated, needs cold run and very hot washing run as well. However, the result is not bad at all though I’v never asked the detailed protocol.

I am a true blackaholic tugan, my wardrobe is full of it and the linen I buy each year only seems to last for one year before it needs doing again. I was wondering whether putting it into a bucket fo the initial dye might be better.
