I've been very kindly given some, but they are a bit grey in colour, Im thinking of using that washing machine dye on them, would it ruin them?

Thanks

IIRC FlameSparrow sells tiedye ones so it is possible. Provided they're a natural fibre.

Ah i think they are polyester wraps,

so I couldn't dye them ones? But I could cotton ones?

Thanks btw

I think you can get other dye which dyes man made fabric but not the machine one. Dylon do a range of different dyes for different stuff.

Cotton should work fine (I've dyed towels etc before).

Interested in this thread?

I have a couple of wraps (polyester ones) that have been home-dyed (not by me, previously to me) - they are a denim colour, and look very nice.

on the dylon site it says you can't dye polyester?!
