Can I tie dye chiffon? How do I go about achieving the different shades?


Name: Sue
Message: I wish to tie dye some chiffon for my daughter's dancing solo and have the colour start from a light shade into a darker shade of pink. Can I tie dye chiffon and how do I go about achieving the different shades?

I have no idea, unless you tell me what the fiber is. Silk chiffon is easy to dye, with the right dye and technique. Polyester chiffon is not!

In dyeing you can't tell anything unless you know what fabric you are using.
