dyeing Under Armour clothing


Name: bob
Message: is it possible to dye Under Armour clothing? It is a type of moisture wicking clothing? I had a piece of clothing royal blue that I would like to dye black. Just wondering if it will work? Thankyou

It depends on the fiber content. What is it made of?

Nylon microfiber is easy to dye with the same dyes that work on wool, unless a fabric coating has been applied that may block the dye.

Polyester microfiber is very difficult to dye, as normal dyes do not attach to polyester, and the disperse dye that does work on polyester is not easy for a novice to use, except for iron-on designs.
