My wife and I have a 5' X 7' area rug which we want to dye brown. It's a deep pile wool rug and the fibers are dense. How does one go about this? We would have it done professionally but there are no skilled people where we live. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Absolutely, fabric dye such as Rit will do a great job, however the size of the rug may present another problem. If it is larger, maybe mix up the recommended amount of dye, have the carpet outside on a tarp, pour the dye and use a squeegee or a brush to work the dye in. Hope this helps.
We hired a company that specializes in dyeing rugs. They have all the equipment needs and know the correct dyes to use.
you'll okorder . honestly though i'd get a small bottle and test a corner before investing in a whole rug, cause the chemicals to do dark colors like this can get seriously expensive since it can take two or three dips to do it. good luck!
