could I use these to dye fabric?

they will stain fabrics, and as long as they are not washed aggressively with detergents (gentle hand washing, drip dry) the stains should stay decently, but if you want to dye clothes to wear I would not risk it because one washing machine run and they would probably lift right out and go into your other clothes. By the way the red is mostly just beet juice, so juice up a beet and see how it does on your fabric! You can make yellow from Goldenrod. Blue can be made from berry juices and other natural materials.

They probably can but I wouldn't choose these scissors for fabric use. They are more of a utility scissor and the blade is scalloped on one side so I don't think you're going to get a good, clean, straight cut.

I don't think that I would use these for delicate work. You could cut the fibers down, but then you could also go to your local craft store and buy exactly what you need.

I would think you could dye at least one dozen pair, probably more. It depends on how much dye coverage you want the socks to have, but you get a decent amount of dye in the bottles. Hope that helps.

You should be able to, they are a thin muslin type material. They are not sewn together very well like most reviews stated so if you want them to hold up better you should redo the seams.

I would say they don't work well on 'hairy' type fabrics. I used mine on cotton tees and even then it took quite some time because you have to do small little brush strokes. They would work BEST on a canvas type fabric with a nice tight weave - but that's the case with most fabric markers...

Yes. You need to use 100% cotton or other natural fabric for best results. If you want to dye poly, it takes a special product for synthetics. If you dye with blends, the poly part will not dye. The cotton part will. It might be an interesting effect. Try a small piece and see what you get. Plus, things loose a lot of brightness as the colors set and dry. And you may lose more color when you first wash the garment. And that kit will not dye 15 shirts. More like 5.

I think so. I use them to make burp cloths, but they can be was in hot water with Bleach.

Absolutely you can, this product works wonderfully on every fabric I have tried it on.

They worked great on tablecloths!!! I did not use on rougher fabric so not sure about that.

I dont think you will be able to dye them but I curled them on 330 degree heat and they were fine ^-^

I haven't used them on fabric. I have used them on cups..I was told they would hold up better than the markers. Not so much. Actually, I think the markers hold up better, just not as well as I would like.

I can't think of any reason why not! I haven't used mine for that purpose, but the generous size & their texture would seem ideal for it. You could either attach one to a Swiffer-type applicator, or you could use them by hand.

They should work fine on Fleece for color but might not give you the sharpest of lines. You might need to wash the fleece item first if it is new for color to absorb better.

They are light weight and not meant for attaching to fabric. If it were a light weight cotton it might work, but no guarantee.

I don't know. They seemed pretty soft to me. You could always wash them before dying them. I think the feedback had several comments about people who successfully tie-dyed them.

I am sure they can stain just like any other cotton fabric. So far, using them as dish towels I haven't had that problem.
