I've dyed several pairs of jeans so can't see why joggers wouldn't work.

It depends on the fabric. A polyester/ synthetic mix won’t dye successfully.

I have just dyed a pair of faded black jeans. Dye cost £6 in a tub. Just put into washing machine and go. When finished clean machine with a hot wash Excellent result . Dye was D---n. But not Dyson

As long as they’re 100% cotton you should have no problem. Man made materials do not take dye in the same way, so you could end up with a patchy outcome.

Do you turn trousers inside out when washing and drying them? Mine, on the whole, keep their colour. I have never needed to dye trousers.

I have several pairs of joggers which have started to fade, otherwise they are perfect, warm and cosy especially on days like today.Has anyone ever tried to redye them with success.They are black and navy blue.
