Very light blue, sometimes fades a lot after rinsing fabric even pre soaked soda ash shirts, easy to use, could have more product for the price of one. Easy to use just add water. Most of my buyers love this color it’s a top fav

You're not tie dying if you don't use procion by Jacquard brand tie dye! I've tried to use a lot of different brands of dyes some powder some liquid and I've never gotten the type of results like I have from this dye. It can be a bit pricey but it's well well worth it and I definitely wouldn't settle for the 2/3 of an ounce containers that's just not simply enough and the 8 oz last you a good long while. I've used both of the different tie dying techniques like ice dye and bottle dye with this particular brand and I've also used rubber bands and send you with this brand and it always turns out great! Note that you have to use soda Ash to soak the clothing before using this dye and it's also important that you use natural fabrics because that's the only way the dye will bind to the material. Don't use polyester or spandex or anything like that unless there's at least 50% natural fabric in the material. Silk looks great and is probably the best thing that I've ever used to tie dye. I've been doing this for 3 years now and this is the best thing going!

My 100% cotton, lightest blue, duvet cover turned out gorgeous. It's now dark indigo (it's a bit bluer and darker than these phone pics with flash.) I had a half bottle of black liquid RIT dye sitting around so I added it to the mix, with this navy blue powder, because I wanted to make sure it came out dark enough. I thought it was going to come out dark ashy blue but I guess the RIT has some red in it. I did see red specks rinsing down the sides of my mixing bucket during prep so I'm not sure if it was from this powder or the liquid RIT. I'm OK with that because it's the original color I wanted. I just decided to go dark blue because I figured I'd have to buy 2 or 3 colors to get this beautiful dark indigo.It had yellowed from sweat, and it even had blood stains from old injuries on it. I used peroxide and ammonia and Persil, in cold water to lighten those. Then I washed it in hot water, with a bunch of Borax, soda Ash, 1 cup of salt (good for blood and protein,) and more Persil. That, surprisingly, got the old blood stains to fade the most, and the yellowed skin residue was almost unnoticeable -- should have done it a long time ago. I left the cover wet and started on my bucket mix.For a 4lb, king size cover, in my top-loading HE washer, it took 14 gallons of water, 8lbs of pickling salt, 18Tbs of this dye powder, and 1 1/2 cups of soda ash. (Technically, I ran out of soda ash so I added 1 cup of Borax and 1/2 cup of backing soda to 1 cup of soda ash, in a bowl of hot water. After stirring a lot, I strained that mix into the washing machine so the undesolved Borax wouldn't make my cover spotty, JIK.) I was religious about rearranging the cover every 5 minutes. I live at 5800 feet altitude so I added 10 minutes to the first, non-soda, stage, and 25 minutes to the soda-ash stage, so that's 25 minutes, then 1 hour and 25 minutes soaking time. Then I plugged the washer back in, let it fill up on a deep water, warm, cycle and let it run. It agitated the diluted mix for 45 minutes, then rinsed it twice. I then ran it through another almost-hot deep-water wash-and-double rinse cycle -- just water. (The rinses are always with cold water. This nicely allowed me to alternate hot and cold rinses.) I then added 14tsp of Jaquard color fixative to a single rinse & spin, deep-water, cycle. Finally, I washed the cover normally, in tap-cold water, with a bunch of other black clothes and some detergent, then dried it on low. Voila!I'm shocked at how even it came out, mainly because the unplugged washer seemed to be draining ever so slowly, to where I felt I needed more swishing room during the last 45 minutes. Instead of swishing I had to pick the cover up and dunk it again, which produced a lot of large bubbles. It was impoosible to keep it immersed over time (I even put heavy platic bottles on to.) It would have been easier to double the mix, up to 24 gallons of water, so I could stir and swish it around instead. (FYI, my recipe is already double-strength to ensure dark results.)My husband didn't believe it was the same cover. It's his favorite thing in the house, because it's soft and cool for sleeping, so I presented it to him with me wrapped under it. 😀My only other side note is don't do this before an interview or formal occasion. My hands look like a car mechanic's even though I wore long gloves and washed them every 5 minutes. In fact car grease is easier to was off. Keep rags handy for splatters, and remember to check your face and neck after each swishing. My wasing machine came out clean as a whistle though. A mild bleach cycle could be run through it if you want to be absolutely sure it's clean.

I attempted to dye my light blue jean overalls black. I followed the instructions on the bottle to a"T". When I first pulled the overalls out, they were only a darker blue and not black so I thought maybe it needed more dye so I used the rest of what was in the bottle and repeated the process. Unfortunately after washing the overalls, all of the color washed away and did not stick at all. Not sure what happened but unfortunately I had no luck with this product.

If you use the directions on the jar you will get mediocre results. I ended up wasting most of my dye and my day the first time I tried dying my jeans because I didn't heat the water. It doesn't say anywhere on the container to heat the water. After getting bad results I found on the forum that the water should be 180 degrees F for optimal binding to the fabrics. Now that I did that the jeans look great. The dye made old worn jeans I got from ebay for 10 dollars look like new. My only other complaints are it takes forever to wash out the leftover dye and it takes a lot of attention to stir while dying. It took me probably an hour of my time and 20 cycles of bath water just to get the leftover dye out. I'm not exaggerating my legs are sore today after from squeezing out the leftover dye yesterday.

I like my jeans jet black, and over time they start to fade from washing and use. Used this black dye with jacquard products soda ash, stirred every 15 minutes, about 1/2 cup of salt for two pairs of jeans and after 90 minutes, took out and rinsed and ran through washing machine. They came out well. The dye sets very well with the soda ash, which is sold separately. Don’t get me wrong , it is a pain to do lol, and will stain your hands if it gets under your gloves. but it was something to learn how to do I was interested in, so if your in the same boat, I’d say go for it. Note that you have to die natural fibers, even if it’s a polyester blend with cotton it will not work well and isn’t worth doing as I try to sample peace and it didn’t dye well with the cotton poly blend.

I dyed my love seat covers, just the colour I was wanting, hard to do by handWill purchase again

Always use cold water to make the dye. It’s beautiful. I also like to leave my dyes and come back another time. All this great product needs is a few shakes and ready to go as it was when I made it.

I wear only black and only natural fibres. Re-dying my clothes is a must for their longevity. This product did wonderfully when paired with the suggested fixer! Did have a hard time diying vintage white lace. The lace never came out true black. Even after two diyings. But because it’s fibre content is not known to me. I can’t expect perfect results with this product.I will buy this again and continue to use it on all my natural fibre clothing!Also this product is usually sold in tiny jars for way more! I bought one of said jars to compare results. This bulk product works exactly the same. Unless you only need to dye one small item, once. I would suggest this bulk option to you!!!!

Great for tie-dye , nice deep colour.

I found this dye to be fairly easy to use and produced a great colour. It is lasting well after a couple of washes.
