Anyone have experience with this? Is Rit Dye even still sold in stores? I have one sort of decent pair of Columbia shorts that I love. They have a small tear that I can mend, but the brown color has faded in spots, due to sweat while hiking, I believe. After letting my hair go gray, I've been transitioning my clothes as I get anything new to mostly a palette that matches gray, with a few black items (not a fan of black usually, due to cat hair in my household). However, I think black would be good for these shorts possibly. And then they'd go with a lot and hopefully last at least a few more months. Any input, suggestions?

I dyed some sheets last summer. I'm not so sure about what's going to happen with them. I followed the instructions exactly and I never could get them rinsed enough to be clear water. It was a sky blue but I dried them and put them in the linen closet and now I don't dare use them in case it bleeds onto the mattress pad or onto the person sleeping in them! I might just toss them.

I have used RIT in the past. The one thing I remember is that if the thread of the clothing isn't cotton thread it will not take the dye. I am not sure if that is true about the fabric itself because I have only dyed cotton clothing.

I have seen RIT in both the grocery store and Target or Walmart. I have never dyed clothing, but, at the worst it doesn't work. You won't be any worse off than you are now.
