The RIT Custom Color Recipe Chart


*This is a copy of the Rit Dye chart.  I'm not sure if it is the most up to date, but received it a few years ago and the recipes are still wonderful.  Hope this helps!

**Basket Class does not assume any responsibility for the reliability of this chart.  Please direct all questions to the RIT company address and phone number listed above.  Thank you.

Create your own high-fashioned colors.  Each color recipe is for one pound of white material, dry weight, using three gallons (or the low-level water setting on your washing machine) of hot water.
Just combine the colors as listed in the recipe, dissolve the powder dye thoroughly according to package directions, and then follow the timing or dyeing instructions as listed in each RIT package.
