Hi

I have some jersery cotton fitted sheets that have been discoloured and I was wondering if and how they can be dyed? They are one is cream and the other yellow. I would like to dye them pink.

Thanks

I dyed all DD's jersey cotton cot bedding when it went a bit off-white - worked a treat. Do it in the machine though. I use the little Dylon tubs (not the machine ones that cost 5x more!) and it always works.

Dylon dyes can be done in the washing machine. They're not all colourfast though, I did some cotton bathmats once and they got paler and paler with each wash so you'd have to be careful what you washed them with but the dyes work fine.

Thanks, I'll go and get myself Dylon.
