I have a 100% polyester shower curtain. I want to dye it choc. brown. Can I dye this type of material?
Question:
Answers:
According to the package directions of Rit Dye..no. You won't be able to dye anything that has a special finish on it.
Polyester requires the use of disperse dyes. Other types of dyes leave the color of polyester almost entirely unchanged. So yeah.
Polyester or manmade fiber just doesn't take dye very well. I've tried it and found that the dye adheres unevenly in blotches and spots. I have, however, used fabric paint successfully on polyester if it is a blend and you heat set it.
