The one 8,463 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Put a material dye and you can do it in the washing machine with a load of salt Quote Link to post

rooboy 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 looked up on the site and it just said ,made from cotton got it from a site that sold fishing nets if that helps Quote Link to post
Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) This site should have what you need. http://tintex.com.au/ If you weigh the net you will know how much dye to buy 1 pack does 2.5Kilos. TC Edited February 26, 2013 by tiercel Quote Link to post
Country Joe 1,411 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Last year I dyed my old hemp nets, with a Dylon bright red, they didn't turn out as red as i wanted, more a maroon. But they are okay, and you can see them better than the straw coloured hemp. Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) http://www.tintex.com.au/shop/colourcharts/Colour-chart-Hot-Water-Washing-Machine-Dyes.pdf Personally I would go for the Drab Olive or Karki. Have a look at the soil colour where you are going to use them and try and match that. TC Edited March 2, 2013 by tiercel Quote Link to post
