I often dye clothing, from refreshing black items to changing the colour of things I like the style of but not the clolour.

I use dylon machine dye, I have never had good results with the hand dyes. I buy them from Amazon.

Thank you for your comments, could you tell me which product you used to dye your clothes.

I've never dyed towels but did dye my white jeans in 3 different colours and they all came out fine. I dyed them in the machine one at a time following the instructions and was really happy with the results. They haven't faded and have been washed multiple times.

I have never dyed towels, but often faded jeans and last year a dress. I have had complete success. Dress especially which I dyed a deep blue has not lost the colour. I should think you would have good success with cotton towels .

I was wondering if anyone had dyed towels.
My white and cream towels are still in good condition but have gone off colour.
I have read that a product called dylon dyes fabric but my thought is what happens when you machine wash the towels.
Does any of the dye come off in the wash?
