How do you dye an area rug?
My wife and I have a 5 'x 7' area rug where we want to dye brown. It is a deep pile carpet and wool fibers are dense. How does one go about it? We want it done professionally but have not used the people where we live. Any help is greatly appreciated.
need formulated dye for protein fibers, a fixative, and a soap woolite very large trough to run it through. depending on how it can be dyed alady it is cheaper to buy a new rug. Most Spinning and weaving shops carry the dye, or you can get it from onne dharmatrading.com. Honestly though I want to get a small bottle and test a corner before investing in a whole rug, caused by the chemicals that make dark color as it can get expensive serious because it takes two or three dips to do so. good luck!
