dyeing insulated drapes


Name: Pat
Message: I am wanting to know whether I can dye drapes that have the insulated backing and how I would go about it.

Are they washable? What is the fiber content of the drape material?

If the main fabric of the drapes is dyeable, and if the drapes are machine washable, you should be able to dye the drapes in the washing machine. The insulation will probably remain white.

Synthetic materials such as polyester and acetate are impractical to dye at home, however, and if the drapes are dry-clean-only, they cannot be dyed at all.
