Pebble Beige(10) Hand Dye

Product Information

I've dyed merino a few times with Dylon hand dye. They're more of a faff than machine dyes cos you can't walk away and leave them. Some have turned out really well but as you say, sometimes the stitching doesn't dye, leaving that two tone effect. I doubt whether Zara would use wool stitching so that's quite likely to happen. Thanks Flo. I'm wondering whether I could dilute Antique Grey to make it dye lighter but I don't want it to come out patchy. Pebble Beige is probably the safer bet. Suitable fabrics: Cotton, linen and viscose. Wool, Silk, Polyester/cotton and polyester/viscose mixes will dye to lighter shade I bought this jumper in the sales and although I love the style and shape, I'd get more use out of it if it were a different colour. The care label says I can machine wash at 30 so I guess Dylon hand dye would be fine. Has anyone dyed a merino jumper, how did it go, do I still need to think about stitching...?

Pebbles smoothed by the flow of water and the passage of time have a wonderful calming quality. Inspired by pebbles collected at the seashore and rivers edge. This soft neutral shade captures this relaxing sense of calm. Pair it with darker and more intense shades for a completely balanced look. Colour safe formula: Colours, whites and delicate laundry like wool and silk can be treated together safely Select your special effect and prepare the fabric by scrunching, knotting, twisting or folding - tie all fabrics tightly. I am a serial dyer of cashmere, I did 4 items in the last few weeks. IME the colours tend to come out quite muted, but I generally go for darker colours. My favourite of the last batch is a cream jumper that I dyed with red and ended up a gorgeous muted raspberry red.Wake up your wardrobe with this Dylon Hand Fabric Dye!

Wearing rubber gloves, empty the dye carefully into the bowl and gradually add 250 ml / ½ pint of hot water. Stir thoroughly to ensure dye is dissolved. Add further 250 ml / ½ pint of water.I agree a pale shade would be best. My feeling though is that it's too nice to ruin, so I wouldn't personally risk it.
