Jacquard iDye for Natural Fabrics .49 Oz - Black

IDye Poly is an amazing day for synthetic fabrics. I was hesitant to try it because of some of the bad reviews but reading is essential when dealing with chemicals at any kind and after trying the product, I can tell some people did not read the directions. I wanted to dye white fishnet yellow. I allowed the fishnet to soak in water so the color doesn’t come out streaky while I put a pot with enough water for the item to freely move around on the stove come to a boil. Toss in the color pack which is made of gelatin so it dissolves in the water then open up the color intensifier and pour that into to the water. The longer you leave your fabric in the boil, the more saturated the color becomes. If you’re using something that already has color, you are color mixing so look at a color wheel to see what color you’re going to get. Rinse well, wash with detergent, rinse again. The color came out better than I thought. I don’t ever see myself using Rit dye again after using this product.

Well, I can't fault this dye. I followed the instructions and restarted the washing machine after about 5 minutes. Then forgot to set the timer and it washed all the way through. This only gave the dye around a total of 15 minutes to agitate and soak. I used two packs for a 9'x12' painter drop cloth, the really heavy burlap type stuff. It was an of white color, almost cream, but I think it was the material's natural color. I washed the drop cloth first, then applied the dye. The cloth looks red too, a nice bright red. RIT DYE: You don't want to use it to dye natural fabrics, like cotton. Rit dye is a general purpose dye that doesn't do too well with cotton, and it will fade with washings or sunlight exposure. However, if you're dying something that doesn't see much light and gets infrequently washed, rit dye is "ok." Aside from being a general purpose dye and not made exclusively for natural fabrics, Rit dye's main deficiency is that it doesn't dye dark enough, unless you use about twice what is recommended. If you're dying cotton or other natural fabrics, Jacquard dye is what you want, and make sure it's for natural fabrics because they offer a "poly" type for synthetics. They also offer two other types of dyes, but they are much harder to apply. So if you want easy, use the "iDye" type. Fill your washer with hot water (as hot as your hot setting gets). I turned my cold inlet off to initially fill the washer. Drop the packs into the water. They dissolve. Mix it well. Add one cup of salt and mix. Add the fabric and let the washer agitate. The longer you let it agitate/soak, the darker the color. Shoot for around 30 minutes. If you don't want to screw up, like I did, leave the washing machine top open (can't do that with front loaders) so it stops before it goes any further than agitate. Reset and let it go again.

if i could give this product 0 stars i would. this was not my first time using a dye like this, but it was my first time with this brand and i will never use it again. i followed the simple directions perfectly and my supposed to be pink fabric came out purple and very splotchy. my fabric was white to begin with and i only left it soaking for 45 minutes. that really isn’t my biggest concern though. the SMELL was absolutely the worst part. the other reviews on are are not exaggerating at all. i am usually not bad when it comes to strong odors, but i think i may have had an extreme sensitivity to this one. although i was in a well ventilated room with windows open and fans on, almost instantly after the steam started i got a terrible migraine and felt extremely light headed. i tried getting fresh air outside and drinking water and taking medicine to try and calm it down but it would not go away. i needed my boyfriend to finish the soaking process and clean up for me because i could not be in the room any longer. i’m not trying to sound dramatic but it really was horrible. i even ended up vomiting several time. it is about three hours later now and i am still feeling very dizzy and nauseous while writing this. i’m sure this isn’t common for most buyers because not a whole lot of reviews say it was this bad for them, but just be extra extra careful when using this product, and i defiantly would not purchase it if you have even the slightest sensitivity to this type of stuff. i will NOT be purchasing this again.

Arrived on time, and worked great. This dye is very green though and it wasn't a really flattering colour for a shirt. I had used two older white shirts of my husbands and used this to dye green for a wedding. I doubt he will wear the shirts again, but to no fault of the product. If you are dyeing clothes, just realize that this colour is verrrrrry green.

j ai teinté une toile de parasol rouge en synthétique, le premier jour la couleur était pas mal, sans être profonde. 1 mois après c est comme si je n avais rien fait.

Polyester färben ist tatsächlich eine Kunst für sich. Im Einkochkessel kam ich auf ein zufrieden stellendes Ergebnis. Schwarz war es nicht, aber ein schönes dunkelgrau. Für die Kissen der Terassensitzgarnitur ganz ok

Ottima tenuta

Husband bought this to dye some item of clothing. He was extremely pleased with the outcome.. the process was easy and the colour was deep and vivid. He would definitely purchase this brand again and would highly recommend.
