Blue Denim

I want to dye my denim blue jeans?
I bought RIT denim blue dye. I want to make sure I do it correctly. The directions are a little vague. Can someone tell me step by step how to do it right. It says to add salt and a tablespoon of detergent as well. SALT?
By the way, I’m just dying them because they’re old and a kind of faded. They’re already blue, just not as dark as before.
Start filling the washer with the hottest temperature that is safe for your fabric.
Add in the dye.
Add the salt. (It helps set the dye into the fabric)
Add the detergent. (however much you would normally use for 1 pair of jeans)
Let the washer slosh to mix the dye, salt & soap.
Put the prewet jeans in the washer.
Let it slosh to get them completely soaked in the dye bath. Stop the washer.
Let them soak in the dye for about 30 minutes. Go check on them once in a while to make sure the fabric hasn’t floated up out of the dye.
After 30 minutes, let the washer finish it’s normal cycle. I usually put on the extra rince cycle or just restart it to rince again.
Dry them as you normally would.
Clean the washer by running it through a cycle with bleach.

Global Denim $71.5 On any given day nearly half the world’s population is wearing blue jeans. This is entirely extraordinary. Yet there has never been a serious attempt to understand the causes, nature and consequences of denim as ’the’ global garment of our world. This book takes up that challenge with gusto. It gives clear, if surprising, explanations for why this is the case, challenging the accepted history of jeans and showing why the reasons cannot be commercial. While discussing the consequences of denim at the global level, the book consists of some exemplary studies by anthropologists of what blue jeans mean in a variety of local situations. These range from the discussion of hip-hop jeans in Germany, denim and sex in Milan through to the connection between denim and recycling in the US. But through all these intensively researched ethnographies of local denim we build our understanding of the most curious of all features of blue jeans – the rise of global denim. |
