DYLON Hand Dye

The process was much easier than expected. I use two sachets of the Dylon powder to dye three pairs of jeans which according to the instructions wouldn’t be enough but it seems to have worked really well. They were quite faded jeans and I did leave the items in the solution for a lot longer than what it said. I let them dry And then washed them a few days later so that the colour had time to properly sink in. I’ve not worn them yet but they look great. Highly recommend- easy to wash off when I got some on the bath. I did it in a bucket in the bath. Also I did not stir them as often as suggested but I think the fact I left them for ages made a difference

A good dye but the fabric we used it on is fire retardant and it did not take well because of this.

I needed to dye two small items - a t-shirt and thin cotton trousers. Instructions say to use 400ml of water, which might be enough to cover a pair of socks but not much else! You have to leave things covered and soaking for one hour, stirring every so often. So, I added enough water to cover both items and swooshed as required, ending up with very dark navy. My items were less than a pair of adult jeans in volume. I did add table salt to facilitate the dyeing process. I wasn't amazed at the colour intensity but acknowledge I used more water than I was meant to - but frankly, you'll have to. Save money and buy a much bigger packet.

The product is exactly what I needed & was reasonably priced. The dye covered the fabric well, although I bought the dye to refresh the colour rather than change it. The Quilted Bear company provided outstanding customer service after initially sending a incorrect colour dye. They responded quickly to my enquiry & professionally. They arranged for the correct product to be sent quickly. Happy with the product, more impressed with the customer service!

I was attempting to dye a brown wool scarf black and I followed the instructions to the letter. The brown scarf stayed brown and the black dye simply did not work. The whole process is very messy. Very disappointing.

I don't have a picture of before unfortunately, but the shoes were kind of washed out purple, i followed the instructions, but i used 2 packs for same quantity of water, i used Vaseline for the sole, i kept them soaked for roughly an hour, i noticed the blue stitches didn't change color its good thing for me but i don't know if it's because of the color or maybe they're made from a different material I'm really happy with the result. I just need to wait and see how it will hold, if there is any change i’ll try to update

Works perfectly. Used it to dye some fading black jeans, put the jeans into a bowl of hot water, then added the separately mixed combination of water and dye. Stirred it every 5 minutes for about half an hour, then stirred it again every 3 hours I'd say for the rest of the day. Left it overnight, got them out in the morning and they are jet black. Anyone saying that it doesn't work has clearly done it wrong - it's dye, just leave it in at the right strength and it works.

Easy to use

Do not advice to buy as it’s hand wash .. ORDERED BY MISTAKE hand wash .. purchase only washing machine fabric dye .. this one is not good as it colour with spots , uneven color.

Bonito color

I am not a DIY-er. Growing up my mom was a costumer/seamstress and I watched her make hella messes everywhere dying fabric and clothing for the stage, and mom always came out with odd colored hands. I swore I'd never do it, the results might have looked great on stage, but the effort hardly seemed worth it for every day life (which, by the way, did not stop my mom from dying anything she could get her hand on if the mood struck her..!). Because I could never stand the mess it made, I never became a DIY-er - I'm a DIY idiot. Recently I bought a pair of pants that were so nicely cut, I really wished I had a pair in black. I decided to go for it - times have changed, and I'm not running a theater costume shop, there's no need for stress or mess. And I was right. I followed the directions explicitly. Pants were 100% cotton, brand new, so I washed them, but did not dry them. The directions say there's enough dye/dye-power to effectively dye about 1/2 pound of fabric, roughly equivalent to a large shirt or pair of pants. Perfect. I decided I'd push it a little and drop in a light henley that was also 100% cotton and would likely take very well. The pants were olive kaki, and the shirt a kind of muted pewter blue, both dark enough to provide a nice undertone to the velvet black Dylon color. I dyed both items together in a bucket, and was fairly lazy about stirring, but I was sure to saturate both items of clothing. I let them sit in the dye with a couple of extra stirs for an extra half hour, not that I think that did anything, but whatevs, couldn't hurt. Rinsed in cold water, as per instructions, then washed in the washing machine to get the excess dye out. I didn't use detergent, and will wash these clothes with other black clothing, as I'm sure there's plenty of excess dye in them. But the results are fantastic! The pants look incredible, you'd never know I didn't buy them off the shelf in the color they came out. A tip for those who want to do a top notch job - thread, nylon or metal zippers, buttons and decals, none of these things will take dye, which worked out well in my case. The shirt didn't come out black for some reason, but a rich navy blue. I don't think that had anything to do with the dye (for instance, if I used too much fabric for the amount of dye the pants wouldn't have come out as beautifully dark as they did), I think the shirt must have some part polyester or something. In both cases, I won - the shirt looks fantastic, better than when I bought it three years ago and the pants are incredible! I don't want to make a regular habit dying clothes, but I won't be reluctant either. This was a great, no muss no fuss experience with a top-notch result - my clothes don't look home-dyed at all, they look store crisp! One thing I'll suggest to the dying novice: spend an extra couple of $ to get long rubber gloves for the dying/stirring process. I used cheap little ones that went up to my wrists, and while I managed to keep my forearms dye-free, the right hand glove had a tiny puncture and I ended up with an entirely black middle finger on my right hand...ha! Thankfully the dye does wear off skin pretty quickly, so it only lasted a few days..! Whew!

So good. Much better than the most popular dye on the market. Will purchase again.

LLevo años tiñendo prendas de todo tipo, es la primera vez que utilizaba este formato, siempre he usado la latita pequeña y muy bien, simplemente sigues las instrucciones y fenomenal. Pero con este sobre el resultado ha sido pésimo, he seguido las instrucciones al pie de la letra, he teñido un polo que ya era del color para que quedara más cubierto, y ha quedado fatal, a ronchas. Pensando que no lo había hecho bien, he teñido otro con el mismo producto. Igual de mal. No lo aconsejo, pérdida de tiempo y dinero.
