I don't know if you saw my earlier post. I have a front loading machine, so I just put some hot water in a stainless steel bowl, added the Retayne and the fabric. I let it soak, then put it in the washing machine to rinse.

Great information on this thread, as per usual on this board!
It is kind of a funny review for me, as my Mother is a traditional rug hooker and dyes all her wools to make her rugs. And may I add they are so beautiful.
I on the other hand like to dye my fabrics, 100% cotton, for some of my quilts and of course being a child of the 60's....I like to dye my tee shirts!
The processes and chemicals used are sometimes different. And sometimes the prcesses are the same....but never the dyes.
Certainly is an interesting subject on the thread....

I found Retayne at WalMart recently and bought some. Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll have it on hand in case I need it.

I do, too, but some fabrics just keep on running. That's when you need to use Retayne or Synthrapol depending on whether they're hand dyes or not.
