Jacquard iDye Fabric Dye 14 Grams-Black

I recently bought a pair of pure white, full seat riding breeches on eBay that were badly misrepresented. The seat was ruined and they were not usable. I happened to have another pair of breeches that I didn't like but had a perfectly usable seat, so to try and save the eBay breeches from going in the trash, I decided I'd try and put a new seat on them and dye them a color to match the replacement seat. (Note: I dyed the breeches first and then replaced the seat material, so the seat material you see in the finished photo is not dyed with idye) This was my first attempt ever at dyeing anything but I figure the breeches were headed for the trash anyway, if I messed them up, there was no loss. The fabric content on the breeches (see photo of pre-dyed, white tag on the breeches) was a mix of cotton, poly and spandex so I bought matching idye color packets in idye for cotton and idye for poly fabrics, as well as a packet of idye color fixative and did the stove top method. The cooking color was very dark but they lightened up after rinsing and drying (which I was glad about). Also, because of the spandex content, I decided to keep the dye pot "almost boiling" but not bring it to a full boil like the instructions suggest. I cooked for about 1/2 hour (instructions recommend 1/2 to 1 hour). As you can see from the photos, the results were dramatic! I now have a perfectly beautiful pair of riding breeches and there is one less clothing item in a land fill! Yay! The idye packets also say it's safe for my septic system - another big plus. I can't speak for color fastness yet as I've only washed them twice since dyeing them but I do love the color I used (gunmetal, which has a blue base and turned out a deep navy for my difficult to dye fabric). In fact, I love the results so much, I definitely plan on using this method again for future breeches! So happy with idye and highly recommend it.

I used iDye poly black and navy blue to restore a nylon tulle evening dress for a customer. The outcome was EXCELLENT - the dress looked brand new when I was finished with it and my customer was thrilled. Be aware - this is a messy and stinky process! You will need to work in a well ventilated area with a heat source powerful enough to keep your dye vat at temperature for about an hour. Make sure you can open your windows and get a couple of fans to move the fumes out of your house. (I would not use this when my asthmatic kid was at home or if I had chemically sensitive pets.) Your vat must be large enough for all of the fabric to move around in it freely and you will never be able to use it for food again. (I used a large enamel water bath canner.) You must stir CONSTANTLY while the item is in the vat. If you dribble the hot dye on your counter or floor it WILL stain PERMANENTLY. None of the above is meant to be a criticism of the product - it works extremely well and is SO much safer & more accessible than other methods of dyeing synthetic fabrics. Just don't expect this to be a quick & easy DIY project.

I bought this to use on a 100% polyester dress that I've had since the mid 90s. I had left it folded on a window sill and it got slightly sun bleached in a couple of spots. It wasn't that bad, but I wanted to dye it and make it fully black again. I bought this dye in hopes that it would work on my polyester dress. BIG MISTAKE!! I followed the instructions to a T, I read them over 20x to make sure I didn't miss anything. As soon as my dress came into contact with the dye, it started to turn my dress BROWN. Essentially, the dye was STRIPPING the black color out like it was a mild bleach. Trying to convince myself that I had to trust the process, I left my dress in the dye for an hour (as the instructions said to), hoping it would turn black. IT DID NOT. Now I am stuck with an ugly part-brown, part-black dress. It couldn't even make the whole dress brown! DESTROYED MY VINTAGE DRESS! This is an Amazon fail for not checking the products they peddle and a BIG fail to Jacquard iDye for creating such a lousy product that destroyed my dress!! If i wanted a semi brown dress, I would have gotten some brown dye.

I've used this type of dye before (though the natural fiber version) and had great success using it in my washing machine, and hoped to have a similar experience with dying some polyester items. I had a bit of unanticipated user error and a lot of the dye had settled at the bottom of the pot I was using, and despite stirring regularly, the items I dyed have splotches and from uneven dye distribution, I'm guessing from what had settled to the bottom of the pan. I had a similar issue with the cotton version and realized for subsequent dye batches that I needed to thoroughly dissolve the dye packet in another container (I used a glass jar and shook the dye in a small amount of hot water until I couldn't see strands of undissolved plastic) and had better success. I didn't think to do that with this packet but I will in the future when I re-dye these sweaters to try to fix the splotches. Great color and very easy to use, just watch out that the dye is evenly dispersed/diluted before adding your items to it, since it's difficult to see what's going on until it's too late! Also I was pleasantly surprised that the grey buttons on my sweater collected dye as well and are now almost black - they look great but I hadn't anticipated that the color would change too.

I had a great fitting bikini top and could not find any bottoms to match the color. These light blue Relleciga bottoms fit the best of all the bottoms I tried. I dyed them gun metal and now I have a great top and great bottom to wear together. I followed the advice from others and dyed outside on a camping stove. The fumes are definitely strong. Interestingly the inside of the bikini bottoms did only take on a tiny bit of dye.

Bought this because it said it was for synthetics, polyester, nylon, etc. I don't know what this fabric is made of but I'm pretty sure it a blend of fabrics. Like a velour type fabric. I was happy with the color when I took it out of the dye bath and rinsed it but after I ran it through a cold wash with mild detergent it really lightened up. I was still okay with that, but when I took it out of the wash it had black lines here and there, looked like ink pen marks. They weren't there before I dyed it, so where did they come from? I think from the dye. I'm just going to live with it, but not too happy about it. Made bucket seat covers for rv and I'm not doing it again. Not an easy job.

Which is 100% polyester. This is an expensive-ish top but I’ve always hated the color. Before it was a straight up sage green (pic 3). Now it’s a deep, beautiful charcoal gray! Instructions suggest boiling water for 30-1hr. but you can’t boil synthetic fabrics. Online suggests warm water - so I used my very hot tap water in my stainless steel kitchen sink. It comes out at 120°, was closer to 90-100° when I added my top to it and the dye. Did this for 30 minutes but I think I could’ve done it less than it would’ve looked the same. The color took quickly. I did use the whole bottle of GRAY COLOR which is probably more than I needed but it came out amazingly well! Gray color did the trick, I didn’t need any red to offset the pale green. What impresses me the most is how beautiful the buttons came out! They were also sage green. They’re still new looking and translucent, just - gray! Because polyester is actually plastic fabric, and this dye does dye all plastic (and many other materials), plastic buttons will color beautifully. Just take care, because of that, if you use a rubber stopper and your sink, it’s going to turn this color lol.

I wanted to dye very sheer drapes that are 60% poly 40% cotton. I read lots about how to do it. The Jacquard site advised using BOTH the poly dye and natural dye together to handle the mixed blend fabric. I used a 16 quart vessel (on the side burner of our BBQ because I read that the fumes/smell is quite strong - GOOD move, because it was a very messy process). I added almost a cup of non-iodized salt, as instructed. The fabric absorbed the dye incredibly fast: I removed the first panel at the five-minute mark. In short, the brown dye turned the drapes BLACK (second picture). In five minutes. I let them dry overnight, and today I tried to bleach them, twice, and they are indeed brown (first picture), but a darker brown than I was hoping for - I wanted something more like a warm cognac colour. I'll let them dry again and live with them another day or so, and will likely try bleaching them a third time. Advice: Keep a sharp eye on the dying process. Don't walk away to do something else, even though the instructions say it will take 30-60 minutes for the process. Heavier fabric will likely need that time, but sheer fabric apparently does not. Also, it is a messy process. I set up all of the implements outside in advance, and I still managed to make a sloppy mess. And, be sure to use heavy rubber gloves (I got mine in the dollar store). They will help not only with preventing stains on your hands, but also dealing with 200F water. Good luck.

Produit efficace, j’ai teint 4 soutiens-gorge de couleurs différentes et le résultat est parfait

I didn’t as instructed, big pot, boil for 1 hr and the clothes came out washed out charcoal color not Black. They look worn out like they were dark grey and the color was washed out. I don’t recommend the product.

Très bonne teinture et bon produit

In der Färbung: eine dunkelbraune Jacke mit Futter aus 100% Polyester, ein bereits gefärbtes Hemd mit noch hellblauen Polyesterfäden, eine bereits gefärbte Jeans mit 25% Polyester. Das vorher dunkelbraune Futter der Jacke ist jetzt rauchig (dreckig) braun, aber immerhin nicht fleckig. Der Unterschied zu vorher ist minimal. Die Fäden eines Hemdes sind jetzt rauchblau, nicht mehr hellblau. Die Plastikknöpfe sind fast schwarz geworden. Die Jeans ist fast anthrazit. Das Hemd allerdings ist eine Nummer kleiner, und nur noch mit aufgekrempelten Ärmeln zu tragen, danke dafür. Ich habe das Päckchen Farbe mit dem Intensivierer in kochemdem Wasser aufgelöst und zur 95°-Wäsche gegeben. Das Wachmittelfach ist ungefähr so schwarzgrau geworden wie ich meine Wäsche wollte. Gut, es war hart an der Grenze mit dem Trockengewicht der Wäsche, und kein kochendes Wasser, aber bei eineinhalb Stunden in 95° hätte man ein intensiveres Ergebnis erwarten können als kaum gefärbt. Die Topfmethode ist nur mit Gasmaske zu empfehlen, da der Gestank wirklich übelkeits- und kopfschmerzerregend ist (und das war nur der Aufenthalt in der Küche beim Auflösen in einem offenen Glas!). Ich versuche es nochmal mit weniger Trockengewicht in Dunkelrot (Crimson). Wenn das auch nicht klappt, muss ich mir die Gasmaske einer Bekannten ausleihen und die Topfmethode probieren. Oder aufgeben... Flecken, wo möglich, unverzüglich mit Verdünnung, Pinselreiniger oder Aceton entfernen!

Avendo visto altre recensioni dello stesso colore che ho preso io, "gun metal", pensavo di essere sul sicuro - avevo questo cappottino di finto pelo bianco sgargiante e idealmente lo volevo tingere di grigio scuro/nero - avendo già fallito parecchie volte in passato col nero, non mi aspettavo di ottenere esattamente quello che volevo, ma avendo visto che bene o male il 90% dei risultati che ho visto con gun metal erano sul rossiccio/marroncino, mi aspettavo un grigio caldo, magari anche un rosso/marrone desaturato pallido, cosa che per me sarebbe stata più che accettabile. Anche lo stesso bianco originale ma un po' sporco. Invece è uscito fuori questo azzurrino strano che onestamente non ho idea di da dove sia uscito. La polverina della tinta era marroncina, l'acqua quando ce l'ho sciolta era nera, a inizio bagno la felpa era grigio scuro, e invece una volta sciacquato per bene è iniziata a uscire acqua blu intenso. Probabilmente avrò sbagliato un po' anche io, non ho lasciato la felpa per più di 30 minuti e non ho girato benissimo intenzionalmente perchè non mi dispiaceva uscisse un po' sbiadito e mi piaceva proprio il colore "a chiazze" che esce se non hai accortezza di girare abbastanza. Però pure con tutti gli errori umani possibili comunque non so come sia passato da grigio ad azzurro quasi pastello. Mi servirà rifare una passata di marrone o arancione per neutralizzarlo e avere un colore più neutro, sperando non lo rovini del tutto. Boh.
