Many cold water dyes will also instruct you to add salt to the large bowl. Follow all of the correct measurements to ensure that your dye is strong enough to dye your clothing. Once your vat is prepared with the salt, add the dye mixture from the smaller bowl. Stir until the large bowl is full of your brightly colored mixture. Next, soak the clothing. When your clothing is done soaking, you’ll need to rinse it in the bathtub until the water runs clear. Run the clothing through the washer and dryer on its own. Running it through with other clothing the first time means that it could potentially bleed.
