After tye dying and rinsing, can i wash all of the tye dyed items together?

Question

the instructions don't specify whether all of the items can be washed together. i know that putting it with other laundry will ruin the other pieces, but does it really make a difference with other tye-dyed items?

Answer 1

If they are all tye dyed and your willing to accept the results... I wouldn't.

ps. soaking them in salt water should help, lock the colors in.

Answer 2

Washing items that have been tye dyed different colors together can result in disastrous consequences as my sister discovered when she washed her red tye dyed shirt with a blue and green tye dyed skirt, the result post washing was brown everything.  Unless the pieces are all the same colors I do not suggest you wash them together.  Try and lock the color in a bit more.

Try this site for really good detailed information about how to keep the colors from blending.  The second to last paragraph is specifically about washing machines.
