How do you go about dyeing your plain white sheets another colour? Dyeing sheets is basically the same as dyeing any other fabric, the only difference is the size. The Washing Machine is often the best option for dyeing sheets a single colour. If you want to do multiple coloured tie dye or ombre designs than hand dyeing would be better.

Inspired by the mysteries of the cosmos and mindfulness Pantone has named Ultra Violet a deep purple as 2018's 'colour of the year'.
To make Ultra Violet, you can use Tintex Purple and Royal Blue or mix our red & blue dyes together for a custom purple colour (Scarlet/Cardinal Red & Royal/Midnight/Navy). Royal may be the best dye to use when mixing Ultra Violet, but Midnight (or a small amount of Navy) may be substituted if needed. When subbing another dye (in the same colour family) you may need to adjust the amounts used to get similar results. Doing a dye colour test is helpful when creating custom colours.
Use double the usual amount of dye for projects with deeper or more vibrant colours. For the best results, it is ideal to use the hottest water possible for your fabric (example: stove top dyeing method or kettle can heat water to 140°F).
The Fabric Dye Colour Guide has more information about mixing colours but for the best results...Read more
