Jacquard iDye 14gm Natural Olive

I needed to dye a French blue T shirt with bleach stains, so I ordered the dye according to the color as pictured. The best match I could find was Turquoise. It came in a small plastic pouch so I used the whole packet in about 2 gallons of water in a pot on the stove. Oh boy, is this stuff saturated! Bright teal/turquoise is what I got!. I rinsed the item about 50 times and still more color was coming out of the cloth. So, if you want a really deep color, this is the one. I would not recommend using this in your washing machine. You may not be able to get all the color out.

The dye work’s wonderfully however the instructions are a little vague. The gunmetal color is a blue grey …more blue…but the envelope looks grey. Very deceiving. The quality is great though.

I am thrilled with the effectiveness of this dye - very consistent result, true color, and simple instructions. I have a king-size sheet set (flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases) that I wanted to dye olive green. I found this iDye product on Amazon. I was a little concerned, since there was only one review and I didn't want to ruin what are fairly new and expensive sheets. They were a mint green that clashes with our other colors. (Note iDye has this product for natural fabrics and a different dye for polyester and nylon blends.)Anyway, I took the plunge hoping for the best. I decided to do the entire sheet set at one time and diligently followed the instructions that came with the dye. I used a top-load washing machine and two packets of dye (based on the weight of sheet set). Since the fabric needed to be pre-wetted, I simply washed the sheets first and set them aside. Then I turned the temperature up on our hot water heater and gave it time to heat - this might not be necessary, but the instructions make it clear that you need very hot water. Then, I filled the machine to medium load (normally I wash them on high load, but this was just enough room for them to move freely). I added the two soluble dye packets and let them agitate for 30 seconds, added 1-1/2 cups of Morton Plain Salt (non-iodized), and added the sheet set. I extended the dyeing time to 60 minutes, per the instructions for better fixation, by resetting the wash cycle several times before it drained to move to the rinse cycle. After that, I let the cycle complete and washed the sheet set from start with a mild detergent in cold water. Then into the dryer. I turned the water heater back to normal and ran a cleaning wash/rinse cycle. I'm providing the detail in case it's helpful. It might seem like a lot, but was actually quite simple.The sheets are now back on the bed - they look and feel great. I don't expect any trouble, but I'll add info if something goes wrong as we use and wash the sheets. Finally, I had to answer some questions about this "toy" - since the dye is sold by a toy store and fulfilled by Amazon. I picked the highest ratings, but have nothing to do with the toy questions.

Je suis mécontente de ma commande pour 2 raisons (d'où le retour du produit!):1) Le délai de livraison n'a pas été respecté et livré avec une semaine de retard2) J'ai tapé dans la barre de recherche "teinture pour tissu polyester" et je me suis retrouvée avec de la teinture classique (pour coton) . Les inscriptions étant en anglais, je ne me suis pas aperçue que je commandais le mauvais produit étant persuadée que j'avis été dirigée sur des teintures pour tissus polyester comme demandé!!!!

Just as described, worked well, dyed my white lounging suit a pretty pale blue. Very happy.
