Don’t you need the synthetic rit dyemore for it to take at all? But yes, that color. ---

Purple is a good color, I say go for it. I would just go solid though personally. Not always a fan of patterns or splashes on plastic, especially if you’re just practicing with it. You could always practice on a piece of scrap rather than a finished yo-yo to see if you like the look of it. ---

The Amplified Vinyl in this picture is Rit DyeMore purple. The dye you have there will be very pale. If you do try it, just make sure you keep the solution warm (I like between 150 and 175 Fahrenheit), and keep the halves moving and away from the vessel itself. When I dyed this one I also dyed a pair of pants, so the halves were sitting on top of them the whole time,but still submerged. Now I have purple pants. ![20200331_110736](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/8/f/f8f803f58395e90548369fc1613789d6e039c0cb.jpeg) ---

RIT Dye doesn’t work on synthetic materials. Don’t use acetone, it’s not good for the yoyo. Buy a fabric dye actually meant for synthetic fabrics like **iDye Poly** or **RIT DyeMore Synthetic**. ---
