Step 1Soak your tights in warm water for several minutes and squeeze out excess. Then start with the feet and scrunch the tights all the way up to the waistband.
-
Step 2Wrap the tights with rubberbands. The tighter the binding the more pronounced the effect.
-
Step 3Grab some rubber gloves and shake up your dye.
I used 2Tbsp of RIT Denim dye with 4 cups of very hot water from the kettle. Test your dye color with a scrap of fabric and you can adjust the color with more water or dye.
Remember: The dye will dry lighter, so keep that in mind. -
Step 4Dunk your tights and agitate for 4-6 minutes. Remove from dye bath and take off the rubber bands. Next, rinse in cool water til water runs clear, wash in mild detergent and hang dry.
That's it, you're done!!

Thanks for the ♡ and, yeah, this should work fine for your cotton blend jeans. I would probably leave it in the dye a little longer than the nylon blend. Also, in my experience, cotton dries a little lighter as well so I'd go for a bit darker shade than the nylon to get to the right shade. Otherwise, the process would be the same.
Have fun with it if you make 'em. Would love to see pics!
