First up is this ad from 1959 "Just push the button on your washer"
From 1962 "Give your dining area new life":
And '62 again- for your little girl's room this time:
1965 - You can dye just about anything, I guess:
Breakthrough! Rit Liquid was new in 1966:
Design a groovy vest (1969)
Now, here we go - tie dye it! 1970:
Still tie-dyeing in 1971:
I must admit, I DO love this lady's wall hanging, from 1973. Pretty cool:
My "Now"? Well, this dye is sitting waiting for me to use it:

I've never dyed in a washer, either. Good luck with that. Mean old husband. Love T
Husbands sure do know how to suck the fun out of everything, don't they?! Tell him it will be OK. Just run the rinse cycle after you're all done.
I was a tie-dye fiend back in the 70s. It was THE thing to do!
my mom always did. i did once in california - just ran a nice hot bleachy full cycle afterwards and no problems. i love that ad with the tie dye instructions. if i would have seen that i surely would have tried. still haven't and always wished i could.
