Good job Imoline! I love what you did with Astrologie, it looks amazing.
I'm thinking of dd-ing a Pont Neuf with ivory background that is in appalling condition with huge brownish stains, I don't have the slightest idea about which color of dying to choose, any ideas?
Well, it depends on the colors you like, the easiest way to cover those stains would be brown, but if you like purple it could work pretty good too, maybe red would be ok ....
the color I use depends on the type of stain and in the color of the scarf .... for I tried to do green on a very stained scarf and it wasn't good ...
imoline - This is stunning!! I thought I was bold to do it once, but you are the queen of DIY home dip dyeing!! You've done a beautiful job on all the scarves you've shown us!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for thr input, Imoline. I've already got everything to try it tomorrow. How long do you keep the scarf into the dye bath?
Hello, hope my answer doesn't come too late, I usually let the scarf 20 minutes in the dye.... but I mostly simply follow the manual ... hope you will be pleased with the result !
Hi! Imoline I can not thank you enough for inspiring me this project!
I bought a Brides de Gala from a reputable reseller for a very low price. It has some little stains and flaws. Then I used an emerald dye. I did not take a before pic but I found one of the same scarf on internet. Second pic is my new dip dyed Brides de Gala (look really like an original dip dyed cw of this style) and third pic is my dip dyed collection with 2 I got at the FSH boutique in Paris (90 grey Couvertures... and 140 red Les clefs).
Thank you so much Imoline! And thank you all for letting me share

Thank you Imoline and HNutty for the great tips on dip dying, this is my "new" Le Pont Neuf a Paris, I'm also including a before & after photo as requested by HNutty:
OMG this is gorgeous - I passed on this silk because it was far too white! Now I wish I had kept it seeing it in this beautiful blue!
Amazing results Bkm - it took care of the stain completely and is a gorgeous color for you!
