I would use this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fabric-Dye-Rit-Powder-Royal-Blue_W0QQitemZ260495006477QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_Fabric_Textiles_SM?hash=item3ca6b65b0d

Dylon dye is hard to get hold of now as it is discontinued + this rit dye is much cheeper.

I dyed these Tuffs a while ago using dylon Madonna Blue









But have since used the Rit dye & the results are as good & better on grips + it costs a LOT less to buy  :)

I used a 1/2kg tin of dylon, not sure how much of it I used, as I just keep adding until they dyed  :-\

But give the Rit dye a go, the Dylon cost me around £42 with postage   :daumenhoch:

That big bowl came from an asian cookware shop in Tooting Broadway, I used to live in Streatham years ago & my dentist is still near there so I go there about twice a year & saw these pots sitting in the shop windows, there are loads of these shops there  ???
