10″ long steel dye rack
Showing a piece of hooping in the rack
As it is Polymer based (nylon) it can be dyed to blend with your skirt. Use an acid dye. A liquid dye works better than the powder dye.
Rit dye alone does not dye Black and dark colours. Use a combination of Synthetic dyes and an Acid dye for Black or dark colours. RIT liquid acid dye and RIT Dyemore are suggested but experiment first.
Dye racks are available for holding the hooping to then dye in a pot.
These are 10″ (25 cm approx.) long. Made from Industrial grade steel.
Small racks to hold hooping for a Tutu skirt.
Your hooping can match the Tutu netting if so desired.
Sometimes a matching colour to your net will show more, so experiment with a slightly paler colour.

You will need around 2.0 – 2.30 m for a 14″ skirt depending on hip size. ( this includes an overlap of about 4″)
Around 1.80 m – 2 m for a 10 year old skirt—measure first as different size hips make the skirt smaller or bigger.
A 15″ skirt could use about 2.5m hooping depending.
To join overlap hooping by about 4″ (10 cm ) and bind with strong electrical tape.
