redying a faded coat sleeveName: Sheila
Message: We have a camel winter coat that sleeve has been exposed to the sun and faded it out. Is there any way to dye the coat darker? I thought there was. It's not very practical. Dye is transparent, so the dye on the sleeve will come out lighter than that on the rest of the coat. Note that you cannot dye something that cannot be washed. If washing will cause shrinkage, so will dyeing. Lined garments are usually not washable because the lining shrinks more or less than the outer part of the garment, resulting in a badly misshapen garment. If you camel's hair coat, or wool coat, is washable, you could dye it black with Lanaset dye, which would cover up the lighter sleeve, but the coat might shrink. You can buy black Lanaset dye from Pro Chemical & Dye. Posted: Tuesday - November 09, 2004 at 02:52 PM
