How do I dye my comforter? Dyeing large fabrics? ?

I have a really wonderful, buttery soft, egyptian cotton comforter that is black. Our bed is in front of a window and it has faded in some places.. if you look closely there are spots that look dark pink and dark orange, from the sun bleaching it out.

It is not a down comforter.. I think it just has filler in it. I think it can be machine washed but I have always had it dry cleaned because it's a king size and won't fit in my washer.

Is there some way that I can dye this comforter? Where do I get the dye? How do I go about dyeing it?

OR... Who would I take this to, to get it dyed?

You will never be able to dye it successfully. You say there are colored spots. Those spots are going to accept the dye differently.

Time for a new one.

Or, get a black duvet cover.

And, you don't need to have it dry cleaned. Just go to any laundromat that has the over-sized front loaders. LOTS cheaper!
