[edit] Spelling
Is dyeing really spelled like that? I guess it can't be dying, because that's a different word, but still, it looks weird. Are there any other verbs like this? —Keenan Pepper 18:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
According to the instructions on RIT DYE, use of hot water with a bit of salt is recommended for soaking the cloth being dyed. This is standard for tie-dying techniques also. I have found that washing the cloth in cold water and some baking soda after soaking in the dye helps to fix the color into the fabric.
