Question:I've tried the washing machine method (not dark enough) and the stovetop method (dye didnt penetrate perfectly, looks kind of marbled), and I've even added salt, per rit instructions. Can I re-try dyeing the tights or do I need to start over with a new pair of white? Help.

capezio reccomends using a shade darker than your desired shade. for royal, i assume it would be navy. then try the washing machine method again, and it should be all good.

if you are using any of the ultrasoft capezio (all styles except #14, 14C, 140, 140C, 145, 145C and all capezio fishnets) the salt is BAD for the fibers, and that could cause the marble look that you got on the stove.

the synthetic fibers will not take dye evenly

if you have time, you can order coloured tights from capezio. takes about a weel to ship.
