Quick Dye Job

[poeticdream.livejournal.com]

Ok! Here I go....

My radio station is going to be in a parade Saturday. And, for almost 2 weeks, we've been trying to get some shirts made up with our name on them. Well, I found last night that I have to dye and print up some shirts myself. I have about 10 white shirts (100% cotton) and I plan on dyeing them yellow. Then, I'm going to print up some logos on some iron on transfers, and iron them on the shirts.

My questions lies with dyes. I quickly picked up some "Dylon Permamemt Fabric Dye (in sunflower yellow none the less). When I got home, I started to think maybe I picked up the wrong kind. Is this type ok for 100% cotton? Ideally, I want it to look bright and happy for the parade, and if it can last a bit, that would be great too. I know it's going to fade, I'd just like it to fade slowly. Will this dye work for what I want? I'd hate to go back to Wal*Mart to return it. The nearest craft store is 45 minutes away, and I don't really have time to go there before saturday!

Thanks for any help y'all can give me.
