They are so comfy but show through white trousers so I wanted to dye them beige/nude. Other dyes did not work so I tried your tea method and lo and behold I now have my extremely comfy pants a lovely natural colour which does not show throw white clothing.Oatmillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881903491773213487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-88737955418167325352013-03-09T10:49:06.056-08:002013-03-09T10:49:06.056-08:00Thanks!

But given my experience with accidental tea stains on clothing, it will get a little lighter but still retain the creamy hue.
