Do you know anyone who will dye some clothes for me?

Message: Do you know anyone who will dye some clothes for me? I have a few black things that need to be re-dyed.

There are dye artists who will be willing to re-dye your clothing for you, for a fair price, but only if your clothing is 100% washable and made of natural fibers or nylon.

Almost nobody wants to dye synthetics other than nylon. See the Custom Dyers Listing for contact information for some professional dyers; see Disperse Dye for Polyester for more information on dyeing synthetics.

The easiest and cheapest way to redye a bunch of black clothing is to use the washing machine instructions for Procion MX dye or Cibacron F (Sabracron F) dye; see "Immersion Dyeing in the Home Washing Machine using PRO MX Reactive Dyes" and "Immersion Dyeing in the Home Washing Machine
using Sabracron F Reactive Dyes
". Buy the dye by mail-order, and buy the soda ash at the hardware store (sodium carbonate is sold as a pH Increaser for swimming pools).
