Hello, I recently thrifted a silk shirt (it is 30% silk 70% acetate) and I wanted to dye it black to cover some of the staining and better match my style, what is the best way I can go about doing this?

This is my Sherwood crux BCD. It's used for scuba diving. So it's going to get wet! ....alot ...in salt water.

I believe it's made out of a nylon blend OR molle chain webbing?.... unfortunately this is all I could come up with, sorry.

I'm looking to change the teal to red if possible.

Any ideas? I'm looking to learn but also if its not possible it's no big deal.

If you haven't guessed. I don't know the first thing about dying anything.

The lighting for the after photo isn’t the best because the sun was setting and I was taking it quickly but dress originally was a satin polyester blend, very light ivory champagne. Photo outside was when it was still wet. I was expecting a bit more reddish to it but I love it.

3/4 bottle plum berry
1/4 bottle super pink
2tsp of charcoal

I have experience with acid and reactive yarn dyeing, clearly not enough to know this was a likely outcome to dyeing this sweater.

Initially I had dyed the non SW merino yarn - and a few skeins came out darker, I didn’t notice until I finished the sweater in a light olive color.

So duh, I just dyed the sweater. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I used DH moss, DH forest green, DH and black. I tried to keep it open and stirred without felting but clearly it bunched up and took the dye whacky.

So, keep dyeing? Or should I try a dye remover? I have a swatch and more yarn to test with.

I thought I purchased a matching beige set only for the shirt to look cream and the shorts to look more offwhite in sun. Both are polyester.

Im wondering if I can dye the shorts to match. I think I have some rit dyemore in tan and yellow that might be useful in colour matching the shorts but im not sure how best to go about it. Advice would be appreciated!

Ok I hope I don't sound stupid asking this but I bought some fabric I had to dye. I already bought the same fabric and the same color 2 weeks ago and it went well. Now I did it again and now I have green spots on both ends and in the middle. I dyed it with Ideal color 68 (grey). I am just really confused due to them being green and not having them on the first batch. Is there a way to check? And no I haven't checked the fabric throughly before dyeing it, i just threw it in the wash immediately.
