Rinky dink project.... dyeing kitchen towels

Several years ago I purchased some huck towels from the Rag Lady (on Amazon).   Over the years they got a bit dingy and I couldn't find any replacements I liked.  I've been working on learning to dye fabric and so I have leftover dye.  I use it to over dye those dingy faded towels.

Here are some of them (some are in the laundry)


This is how they look before dyeing


 I soak them in soda ash solution before applying the dye.  That is my dye solution in 2 oz bottles.

I overdye things like that often. It's a great way to give them new life and to practice color mixing with dyes.

Kitchen towels are very essential and everyone needs them the most. Thanks for the idea. I will search for similar ones too because I am fed up of paper towels. These towels must last longer.
