overdyed
Dipped in more
Overdyed describes fabric or yarn that has been dyed a second time, usually in a darker color, over an existing dye.
The technique creates rich, complex tones as the new color interacts with the old: overdyed vintage rugs, an overdyed denim jacket.
The process can unify mismatched colors or give worn textiles new life.
