Has anyone died tone-on-tone fabric?
I have some white tone-on-one that is just a little too super white. I would like to tone it down (no pun intended!), if I can, to a natural white. Has anyone tried this? I'm thinking of using Rit dye in my front loader. The major questions I have are (1) Will it come out too dark? I just want to tone down the white to something similar to a natural muslin (or even lighter). I do not want tan or brown. (2) Will it be colorfast? Quilts get washed. I won't mind if it lightens somewhat. I've read that Rit dye fades over time. Maybe not a problem, as the worst it could get is its original white-white.
It's 5 or 6 yards of fabric, so it's not as if I could boil it on the stovetop.
Anyone with experience out there?
