Dyeing Rope?

[gofishojn]

REI only has this white rope which I want to use for my tether. https://www.rei.com/product/472013/pmi-e-z-bend-sport-11mm-non-dry-rope

Anyone have insight on dyeing rope?
I suppose there are two concerns - the dye somehow weakening the rope and the dye not staining the material.

I plan to use RIT synthetic dye. I’ve dyed a lot of outdoor gear before and had good luck, wondering if this would work?

I've dyed various cordage using the RIT dyes with various amounts of success. The nylon cord I used to haul my bow up, so nothing rated. Sometimes it would take the dye great, other times not so much. I doubt it would weaken the rope, but seeing as I'm not a rope or rope dying expert I can't speak with any amount of expertise.

I've used RIT dye as well. Keep in mind, a black dye will turn a white rope grey. You won't get a deep 'true to color' dye ...at lease not based on the experiences I've had.

I use that rope for my linesman with a ropeman one. Works great. I never minded the color and neither have the deer I've harvested. I get wanting a duller, more camo like color and, I dont blame you, but I have noticed it doesn't seem to matter, at least in my area.

I tried to dye my blue tether black. Its still blue-ish. I used RIT with some success, like said previously no deep coloring.
