Hello .. my inner got delivered today, Im thinking about dying it.. I love the look of Valbarly's, Im thinking it would be good as a sort of black out so the kids dont wake up at 5am .. wishful thinking prehaps ..
Just wondered what sort of dye I should use and how many packets etc.. gunna pop to B&Q to get some Massive bins to soak it in..
Just wondered if anyone else tried this and if they had any tips?? cheers in advance.

I'm thinking of dyeing my bell inner. Has anyone managed to do theirs successfully?

Not dyed a tent inner but have dyed lots of other things!

How much dye required usually goes on weight of fabric your dying and then that can depend on the type of dye you use.

Natural fabrics take dye better than man-made (I will add a photo of some of my mums knickers I dyed that are cotton and nylon to show the difference).

Hope that helps even if it isn't tent specific!

Dylon are the best dyes I have used and can recommend them.
