Dyeing clothes
How is this done properly?My work uniform is black (t-shirts, sweatshirt, shorts, trousers) and they are very basic quality and fade very quickly. They turn a 'pale black', almost grey when washed over and over again.
What do I need if I want to dye my work clothes so they remain black? Do I get one of those round tablet things and add it to water? How much of it and will the dye come off onto my skin and make a mess of the kitchen sink?
I want to try this out but need advice first. I don't want to ask my wife because I know she wouldn't want me to do it, so I would wait until she goes out and then dye my clothes when she's not watching.
Any advice with this? Thanks

Re: Dyeing clothes
I was just thinking about tie dyeing a white t shirt!You need Dylon, either a sachet or a little round tin Floydy.
Get your wife to read the instructions and tell you what you can use
I seem to recall you need to add salt to make it fix. Perhaps you can use a bucket or something that won't matter if it gets dyed!
Good luck.

I'll look into it, though I am able to read instructions myself
I think it's the very basic quality of the uniform we are supplied.
My normal t-shirts don't fade.

Didn't want to advise you to do something you might regret .
