I got dye out of cotton with Rit dye remover, I don't know if it's the same as the Dylon remover, but isn't that cold water? Rit works in simmering water. Good luck.

Hello, can anyone offer any advice please, I'm desperate! I made a set of swaddling clothes, biggin, coif, forehead cloths, shirt, 4 12ft long swaddling bands, tail clouts, belly band etc. etc.all from beautiful old french linen, fully hand stitched. I've been boiling them up regularly with home made soap to soften the linen, it's been working really well. When I stayed with a friend who was going to photograph the set for me she put the clothes into her machine for a boil. Unfortunately she had previously been felting some red wool fabric in the machine and now I have a set of pink baby linen. I've tried the Dylon dye remover and chlorine bleach and it's not made any difference. Avice to remove the colour (or evidence of pink baby linen!) would be gratefully recieved. I know in the great scheme of things there are worse things that could happen, but last night I started to cut out a new set of clothes and ended up in floods of tears. My partner has said we can still photograph the clothing and he can use the computer to make the clothing look the right colour but I've spent three years researching and making this project, was hoping to start school presentations in September. Thanks for listening. regards Joy Shillaker _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
