Will it come out evenly, thats the key question!!
Any advice/ tips?
Do I dye it in the washing machine or in the bath?
If the Duvet currently has a pattern on it, the pattern will probably show through the dye. And, if the Duvet current has a color (other than plain white), that will also affect the outcome…but yes, you can dye your Duvet.
I do NOT recommend using Rit™ Dye. Rit is not very colorfast. I once dyed a pair of jeans with Rit and they turned my legs black every time I wore them — even after many washings. I finally just threw the jeans in the trash.
The best dye for your Duvet is Dylon™.

It will dye evenly as long as there aren’t any stains on it. If there are stains you might want to do a design to help hide them.
Rit dye is what I use. Use the liquid. If larger than a full size get 2 bottles.
You can also mix your own colors.

If it’s pure cotton, you should be able to get good results using the washing machine.
