This is my first attempt at dying a yoyo. I did a blurple fade on a Dressel Designs 5050 Hybrid.
The dye
I used Rit Dye More sapphire blue and royal purple. The mix was 1 to 1 dye and water.
The process
After heating it up to just under a boil I lowered it half way using the set up you see in the picture for 5 minutes. I rinsed thoroughly in luke warm water first so not to shock the yoyo then under the faucet making sure I didn’t get the dye on the unfinished side. After cleaning the pot, I repeated with the next color.
I probably could have taken it out sooner but I think it turned out pretty good.
Thank you for the confidence in me but this is the first time I’d did this. I have a few more projects to do so I can make sure I didn’t just get lucky.
Give me some time and check back in about a month and we can see about working something out
