Back to Black (or white)
I love my black skinny jeans but they have been fading over the past year. They still fit like a dream and I’ve been toying with replacing them even going so far as to get myself into a changing room and struggling with a zip. Jeans shopping is one of my pet hates mainly because you have to buy them small in the hopes that a] You will lose weight and/or b]that they stretch out.
I was tidying under my sink last night and found a box of Dylon black machine dye. Voila! Two hours later my fading jeans are back to black. It’s as simple as throwing the dye pus a bucket of salt into the machine and the jeans. You have to do a further wash and then again to make sure the drum is thoroughly cleaned of dye. It was a terrific success. Twice today I was asked where I had bought my ‘new’ jeans! Dylon have been making fabric dye for yonks but boy have they hit the mark with not only all the colours you could imagine but a terrific Jeans blue, and a lingerie white. No need to throw any greying whites out just use the dye and in a couple of hours you have completely whiter than white undies. You can buy all the colours on-line from The Dye Shop. The machine washable ones are 8.69 euro each.
