Message: I have a sari in  light pink and I wish to dye it to a dark pink, or another colour is it possible? If so, which color dye should I use? Also, the sari is made of a hard net material. thank you

In order to dye fabric that is a light pink to a dark pink, I would just use dark pink or fuchsia colored dye. A light pink can be dyed to almost any color besides light green or yellow.

What do you mean by a hard net material? What fiber is it made from? Is it nylon, or polyester, or silk, or what? You must match the type of dye you use to the fiber your fabric is made from. Dyes that work on polyester will not work on cotton, and dyeing recipes that work for cotton will not work for nylon.

Nylon net is easy to dye, if it does not have any sort of surface coating, by heating it in water with an acid dye plus a mild acid such as vinegar.
