Just picked up some black rit dye on sale. Any ideas? Also general DIY thread
is it possible to darken my faded black pants with this?
I had a bright orange cableknit jumper I dyed with this, now it's kind of a very dark blue bordering on black. I never wore it (honestly have no clue how I even got a bright orange jumper) and now I wear it all the time.
I can post a pic if you want me to.

Yes but it will also darken any contrast stitching as well. Overdyed jeans are a thing. They just used to do them in gawd-awful colors but black dye works to re-darken cotton. People usually double the recommended quantity of dye for black and use the boiling water method. Wash them alone or with all black things afterwards, the dye can leach out.

Your coat is probably 100% polyester the dyes only work on an 80/20 mix of something, try finding a dye for poly
drink it

mine is the pre-2005 80/20. it turned somewhat darker, but not even close to being black.
i followed the instructions, added salt and everything; i dunno how i could have fucked up so badly

Maybe it's the water temperature? Mine wasn't close to black the first time, second time I boiled that shit and it worked
