Look what else the postie brought me... (not trainers/sneakers)

Yeah Dylon is the main brand here but you need to use quite a lot of it to get a good finish. Maybe a max of 4 pairs per pack of dye. Give me a shout if you can't find any over there.

Cheers for the tip guys!

I did a quick check and it seems Dylon it's available in Denmark, but 200 g (one colour) cost around £8.50 – and it's supposed to be used in the washing machine along with some special salt. Is that how you guys used it to dye laces?

Superstars are indeed super...

I'm sure I omeone on here just put some in a bowl of hot water and left them overnight but the washing machine should be fine. The salt is just normal table salt don't waste your money with there "special salt".

I dyed a pair black with a packet of dylon hand-wash, a couple of pounds for a packet and i only used a third of it.

I used an old stainless pan and regular table salt, put a glass bowl in to keep them submerged and left them for 24 hours. Ran them through the washing machine afterwards to prevent them bleeding.

Give me a shout if you can't get the small packets, I've got a local store that stocks most of the colours.
