[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.
Yes, Kennan Pepper, "dyeing" is spelled like this. Check out www.m-w.com, it's a great resource.
