Dye, cream hose, dye!
I don't wear my cream hose any more. I bought them before I knew any better.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience at dyeing white or cream hose to a darker color. I'm going to go with green. This pair of hose is 25% wool, 25% acrylic, 20% nylon, and 30% polyester.
The packaging for the Rit dye says not to use it on 100% polyester or acrylic, I believe, but it doesn't say anything about blends. Do you think this material will take the dye? My only guess would be that it won't take it as well as cotton or other natural fibers, but it might take some. I might end up with light green socks instead of dark green. But I figure it's worth a shot, since the worst that can happen is that they get relegated to boot socks when I'm wearing p***s.
