I think it fades slightly with washing, over time, but it will never wash out completely. I haven't dyed anything with tea before either, but I've ruined many things by spilling tea!
This post of yours has taken me back to memories of my grandmother. She was a fine crocheter and practictioner of the art of tea dying. Of course, although I remember watching her and beautifully subtle tinting, I was then too young to actually learn the process.
Thank you for taking me back to those days in the 1950's.
Qué lindo post! Y me gustó mucho el comentario de rememorar a la abuelita.. Siempre me han gustado las cosas añejas, qué bueno lograr acercarse a esa dedicación de antaño.
Jesse – you're right. Now that I think of it, tea makes difficult to remove stains – I recall a breakfast tea spill over bed sheets that could never be removed at all and well, my tea mug that's always stained on the inside!
Frances – oh it's so sweet to read that! Thanks to you for letting me know.

Con este post también me he acordado de mi abuelita que tejía unos lindos manteles a crochet y de los teñidos de mi madre. Ella ha experimentado con té y con jugo de betarragas. Es cierto que con el lavado, el color va cediendo pero nunca vuelve a quedar completamente blanco asi es que creo que vas a conseguir el leve tono deseado.
Cariños !
Kena – Hola! Veo que en tu familia también corren las labores manuales :)
El pañito ya está seco y quedó del color que quería. Cuando lo lave será con mucho cuidado y agua fría...
me encanta! tengo unos mantelitos con los que voy a intentarlo!
Lovely to discover your beautiful blog and shop! I have used the tea to dye the cotton fabric when I tried to make a doll in the past, to add some color to the face. I think the subtle color will always be there even after you wash it, although I have not washed the doll ever. Yanyan @ Suvi Ainoa
That was so cute. I love the design of your sister. I'm also wondering what will happen next?
I own a tea room and tea stains can be removed by bleach (also will work inside a tea cup or mug!) I love to tea dye some things with color that I can't bleach out!
