Dyeing long nets

[gollum 1]

Decided to dye my green long and stop nets a darker shade, aiming for a dark khaki if at all possible.

Had a check on the Dylon stuff and its way too expensive considering the quantity of net I want to dye (400 yards).

 

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of dyeing nets with traditional dyes?

 

Any suggestions appreciated.

 

HH all.

Ive just asked the wife and she says" you cant dye nylon " ?

[stickleback 2]

Im sure nylon can be dyed with a acid dye but you have to heat up the mixture so it works...perhaps im wrong ?.

Why do you want to dye them?

 

Are you sure you really need to?

 

Could be a waste of time and money IMHO.

for a cheap effective dye, ive used old tea bags, and onion skins, boil em up let it go cold and put your net in, over night, and it comes a good dark shade, dont forget to hang and dry your net.

Try these phone them up ask for stuart, he will tell you the dyes you need and how to use the dye.

 

The disperse dye is the one I use for dying polyester. I have used it on nylon and no problems.
