Neogiomach Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hi all! So I have about 35 handkerchiefs that I like a lot... they’re very soft and it seems like with each washing they get more soft and comforting and luxurious and I’m so glad I found them. Aaaaand they’re all white. I really wish I had some beautiful colorful ones.... maybe tie-dye or just solid colors because for some reason I just find them captivating and my seeming inability to source some I want has led me to one conclusion: I should dye some myself. Does anyone have experience dying fabrics? I’ve researched online and some places say RIT dye is East and safe, but some places say it bleeds for weeks and fades and still more places say the dying process can make fabric feel stiffer and less soft... so pretty much I’ve psyched myself out if trying it on my own handkerchiefs. If anyone has any experience or advice or tips I’m very open to learning as much as I can! Link to comment
Hankyrick Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The majority of my hankies are also white. I have 20 white ones in the truck and 30 at home. I do have a couple of ones with coloured borders and 3 coloured bandana ones. Unfortunately I dont have any experience in tye dyeing though Link to comment
sexyhankysneeze Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Mostly all of mine are coloured as I like hankies to look like hankies but I have never dyed them myself Link to comment

I love dark colored handkerchiefs! And bordered and checkered ones! White is fantastic, but colored are so fun and distinguishable as actual handkerchiefs! Link to comment
Guest Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Neo .. have you managed to get any coloured handkerchiefs yet …. you really should get and use them …. as Hankies106 says coloured ones are fun Link to comment
Neogiomach Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 I did. I ordered some tartan ones that had good reviews but they were very thin and weren’t quite what I was hoping for. I’m still on the lookout because I truly want to find some I like, bright cute colors make me smile. Please post any links you might have to help me out! 🤧 Link to comment
Guest Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hi Neo yes you can get thin ones which are not that good you need good quality colourful ones … drop me an email and I will give you links Hank Link to comment

Neogiomach Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 I’m not worried, it would be nice because I sort of feel like I’m outside looking in regarding some features of the boards but I won’t lose sleep over it. Also, besides this covid19 craziness life Is pretty swell. how about you? Link to comment

Guest Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Neo .. Have you got any coloured handkerchiefs yet ? and when are you going to be validated 😀 Link to comment
Neogiomach Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 I've been perusing the merrysquare site looking at them all, I enjoy window shopping but I haven't decided on which ne I want. There are so many! Usually I base at least a portion of my purchase choice on customer reviews but with google auto-translating the site from French already it crashes and needs to reload from time to time. 😛 Link to comment
Guest Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 There are plenty of other sites ,,, in English get yourself validated and I'm sure many of us will willingly discuss ..You could try Killer Hankies on "Homewarepalace" Hank Link to comment

HankyDrawer Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I prefer to use white hankies or white with a border or occasionally blue, especially in public. The problem I have with colourful hankies and especially darker ones is you can’t boil wash them and also that once you’ve used them if you have to use them again you can see the snot on them. I also don’t like drawing too much attention to myself using them, especially the huge red spotted ones I have. Also, somehow to me white one’s just look classier. The fetishy thing I miss most during this period is not seeing guys use hankies and also not using them myself. I do think there are some European countries where people are more likely to use handkerchiefs. Certainly I’ve seen hankies more in Belgium and Czech Republic than in Spain Italy or Germany. Still mainly white ones though. Link to comment
allergyboy2001 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I’m not sure which ones you are buying, but dyes have improved a lot, even compared to 25 years ago. Dark dyes will probably not fade or stain surrounding fabric if you are washing in hot water. You can wash something once or twice alone, just in case, but it’s unlikely to be a problem. Of course, color/patterns are still a matter of personal taste. But washing is not a big consideration these days. Link to comment

Here in Europe, the use of handkerchiefs has been lost a bit, at least in Portugal. But I don't stop using mine, hoping to bring up the hankies again.🤧😀 Link to comment
Trynasneeze Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I find plain white hankies too boring. I prefer blue or grey bordered ones especially, brown as well sometimes or a white one with a coloured border Link to comment
Hankysneeze Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I prefer coloured hankies. The brighter the better Link to comment
launderedlace Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Nearly all my handkerchiefs are white, but all of those have some kind of decoration, usually embroidered flowers. The embroidery itself can be white or coloured; I prefer it to cover a substantial portion of the handkerchief, not just a single tiny flower in one corner Link to comment
