I’ve never tried it, but I know there’s a tutorial for it on braceletbook https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/45_how-to-color-your-own-strings/ Here’s another tutorial that uses food dye instead of ink, so it might be a little easier https://youtu.be/40Yel4F35Po |

I tye dyed white string last summer. It’s really easy. I guess my only tip is to make sure all of your string is wet and spread out a little bit. On a few of my skeins the middle was not totally wet, so the color didn’t soak into it and it wasn’t spread out so the color also couldn’t get to it as well.

I made pattern #38777 with some of the string I dyed if you want to see it. It’s one of the first pictures with flowers in the background.

Use rit dye to dye your thread. Just make sure you buy the dye that's meant for synthetic fiber if your string is 50% or less cotton. Common things would be like 50% polyester 50% cotton, then you'd use the synthetic dyes. Do it just like you would tye dye expect dont let it sit overnight. Wrap it in plastic wrap and microwave it once you dye it but PLS don't burn/melt the plastic that could be super dangerous. Then wait for it to dry and ta-da!! Hope this helps.
