About
I found this white jumper in the sale, pretty but not a practical colour so I decided to do a bit of dip-dye.
I started with a shop bought jumper I found in the sale. As white is not a very practical colour for me I decided to dip-dye it in my favourite colour. If you want to try this make sure that your jumper is a natural material (cotton or linen works best, silk will give a lighter colour and man made fabrics won't work at all although as some rayons and viscoses are plant based you can sometimes get a reasonable result.) I used one pack of hand dye and you'll need some salt to fix it.

Step 2
Mix up your dye according to the instructions on the packet. This generally involves dissolving the dye and salt in hot water then adding to whatever you're using as your dye bath. Remember, normal colour rules apply (so, if your jumper is yellow and your dye is blue it will end up green)
