I have dyed an item in the past and the stitching stayed the same colour. In this case it didn't bother me, but now I'm considering dyeing something and don#t want the stitching to say the same colour.
The only thought I've had is to find a loose piece of stitching and cut off a tiny bit, put it in bleach for 2 nights and see what happens. Assumption being if it bleaches easily it might be cotton. I have done this and it has gone from red to a orange, but not much of a change really.
The cords are by Ralph Lauren if that helps and the label says 100% cotton but i have seen this on other things where the stitching didn't dye.
Thanks in advance for any advice etc,
Regards
