Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.24,0:01:19.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, I filled the pot about 1/3rds with\Nwater, and I turned my stovetop on to a medium

Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.85,0:01:39.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, you DON’T want your water to boil.\NI got the water in the pot up to about 75

Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.87,0:01:49.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, with this dye you’re supposed to use\Nabout 1 bottle of dye per 2 pounds of fabric,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.34,0:01:55.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I guess if you want a really strong colour.\NBut I only want to dye half my tights; I also
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.10,0:01:59.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,didn’t have scales... in the end I kind\Nof figured out that I would need about 1/10th

Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.51,0:02:12.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first thing that I did was to put a really\Ntiny amount of dye into my pot – so about
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.03,0:02:15.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a couple of spoonfulls – and then I mixed\Nit around.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.29,0:02:20.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I took my soaking tights out of the\Nsink, wrung out the water, and carefully plopped
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.14,0:02:25.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them into the pot for literally about 20 seconds.\NThis will dye the entire tights a kinda pastel
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.22,0:02:28.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,peach colour, which will hopefully make the\Nombre more subtle later on. While doing this,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.89,0:02:33.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I held the top end out so that I didn't burn\Nmy hand, and I also tried to mix them around
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.66,0:02:36.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a bit so that the dye would get to every part\Nof the tights.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.26,0:02:40.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, I dumped them straight
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.26,0:02:44.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back into that cold water, rinsed the dye\Nout, and then I wrung the water out.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.30,0:02:47.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I tipped quite a bit more dye into the\Npot, and I mixed it around.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.99,0:02:51.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, here I’ve set up two pots. This pot\Nwill be for the half of the tights that I

Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.41,0:02:59.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I do want to dye a stronger colour. So I put\Nthe top half of the tights – the part that’s
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.80,0:03:03.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to remain light-coloured, into this\Nempty pot. Then, I carefully put the rest
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.99,0:03:09.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the tights, from the toes up to about just\Nunder halfway, into the dyeing pot.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.14,0:03:15.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I carefully stirred the fabric around, to make sure that the dye is getting to all of

Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.79,0:03:21.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then, after they were in for about 30\Nseconds, I pulled the tights out about 1 inch.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.18,0:03:45.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I poured in a couple more tablespoons…\Nor so?, stirred to mix the dye evenly, and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.10,0:03:49.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I immediately pulled the tights out one\Ninch. Then, I stirred, and I waited about
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.50,0:03:52.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,1 minute this time, and then I pulled them\Nout yet another inch.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.95,0:03:57.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, I poured in more dye, stirred, then\Nleft the tights to sit for about 30 seconds

Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.46,0:04:14.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In my sink, I immediately rinsed the tights\Nwith cool water. Now – this is important
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.97,0:04:18.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,– I rinsed the tights with the coloured\Nbit at the bottom and the lighter part at
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.14,0:04:22.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the top. I didn’t want the dye to run back\Nup the tights into the lighter sections, so

Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.51,0:04:34.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, according to the Rit Dye instructions,\NI needed to handwash the entire thing again
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.03,0:04:39.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,using mild detergent in warm water. Then I\Nrinsed them off again in cool water, and FINALLY,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.48,0:04:43.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I let them dry, by hanging them up like this\Nso that the dyed parts are at the bottom.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.47,0:04:48.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I had a bunch of dye left so I also decided\Nto also try and refresh a scuzzy old pair

Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.58,0:05:40.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alright – the issue of using a cooking pot\Nto dye things. Now, I had googled this really
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.42,0:05:45.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,briefly before starting the whole dyeing process\Nand the Rit website themselves said that it
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.42,0:05:50.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was okay to use a cooking pot as long as you\Ncleaned it really well with bleach afterwards,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.83,0:05:52.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I was like "great! Let's go then!"
