my formal is on the 22nd of september and i have been trying to find a place that dyes RAYON. i bought a beautiful scarf but it is white...and i need it to be black or a dark blue.
would lincraft have the dye i need?
what dye do i need?
what are the chances of my scarf not turning out even and nice for my formal?
what dying procedure do i use?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I have no idea whether Lincraft sells any dye at all. I've never heard of Lincraft; it must be local to your area.

To dye your scarf nice and evenly, use the washing machine method. See "How can I dye clothing or fabric in the washing machine?". Rayon is extremely fragile when wet, so buy a large lingerie net bag to put it in while dyeing it in the washing machine, or use a very delicate cycle if your machine has one. You don't want to shred the edges of your scarf in the machine. A small net bag may interfere with even dyeing, but a large one should be fine, if the scarf can move freely within it and is not squashed into a bundle.

It is possible to dye rayon with all-purpose dye. I generally recommend strongly against the use of all-purpose dye on cotton and rayon, but you are in such a hurry that you may have to use whatever dye you can get locally, instead of mail-ordering superior dye from one of the companies listed for your part of the world on my Sources for Supplies list. If you can find Dylon Cold Water dye, or Dylon Washing Machine Dye, or Tintex Low Temp Dye, your results will be much better than with an all-purpose dye such as Dylon Multi-purpose dye, Tintex High Temp Dye, or Rit Tint and Dye.

Keep in mind that you should at least double the amount of dye when trying to dye something black.
