Message: Hi there, I have been looking for rit dye in the uk but to no avail. It is for colourwashing vinyl dolls and have been told that rit dye is the best, as this advice has came from the usa. Is Dylon dye the same as rit??  is it only a brand name difference??
thanks for taking the time to read this

Rit is a brand of all-purpose dye. It is the most-used dye in the US simply because it is very widely available. There are other brands of all-purpose dye that are very similar, such as Dylon Multi-Purpose and Tintex Hot Water dye. See "About All Purpose Dye".

Dylon also sells other types of dye, fiber reactive dyes, which give much better results than all-purpose dye on most clothing, such as Dylon Machine Dye and Dylon Cold Water dye, but whose suitability for tinting plastics I do not know. Their Multi Purpose dye is much more similar to Rit. Check the label carefully to make sure you have the type of dye you want when purchasing.
