DYLON Hand Dye, Fabric Dye Sachet for Clothes, Soft Furnishings and Projects, 50 g - Intense Black

works well for faded fear of god essentials

Good

Did blacken my faded black jeans, I followed instructions and was expecting it to have uniform black colour all over, there are odd areas which seems less black than others when you look closely. It will do the job, even though i used extra fixative, its hard to stop the colour running with the powder version, rinsed it so many times, colour would still run. I'll have to only wash it with black garments for the next few washes.See before (sideways) and after (vertical) pictures

When I mixed up the dye it was quite clearly purple. But I carried on, hoping some magical, dye-related alchemy might occur. It all looked very unpromising for most of the hour - but then it DID turn blue! This dye does work. But giving 3 stars for having to endure the trauma of thinking I was about to have a purple cardigan in my life… I genuinely thought I’d got a bad batch of dye (as I think other reviewers here did too). Perhaps Dylon could explain on the packet that this dye is purple for 90% of the process? - to alleviate purplepanic?

The product demonstrates a high level of quality

I’ve used Dylon Machine pods with great success in the past. This is the first time I’ve used Dylon hand dye. I used the hand dye because I only had one small item, light in weight and in colour, so it seemed a waste to get a machine pod for such a small item. It was a fail, despite following the instructions exactly.I had tried to dye an XS shirt that was 100% Linen and weighed less than 200g. It was a really evenly light mauve colour originally. So I thought Brown would be a sensible choice to colour it.It was easy enough to do, the instructions are clear. The colour is exactly as shown and really intense, which I am happy with. I really like the colour It’s exactly the colour I had hoped that it would be and the only reason I gave one star, for the colour and for the ease of dying.But ultimately the result came out so patchy and my shirt is currently looking like a tie dye 50 shades of brown. It looks like it’s got faded sweat stains all over it. I’ve tried to capture in a photo, but you can’t quite see the many different shades of brown in the light. It also has black spots all over the place too, despite dissolving the dye powder first in warm water. I wasn’t expecting an amazing result, but what I have got is disappointing. Especially give the item is 100% linen.I do like that the buttons and inside branding tag and machine wash logo stayed pure white.I will now need to buy another packet and dye the shirt again, which is disappointing because I was using the hand dye because I was trying to avoid being excessive for such a small job. I wanted to avoid waste. I would recommend that if you are going to try these sachets, buy two incase anything goes wrong. But, I think for me, I’ll probably stick to the machine pods and wouldn’t buy this again nor would I recommend this product.
