iDye Lilac Fabric Dye for Textiles Using Natural Fibres14g No Mess Packet

Absolutely brilliant just through the packet in with the wet garment and it the wash on, brilliant turn out, colour exactly as on pkt well the olive green that I choose so now getting chartreuse for another pair to colour from beige. Fully recommend.

I practiced by dying one of my husbands white linen shirts with iDye Natural in Chartreuse which came out a very strong deep lime green. The thread did not dye but I did not notice this much in this colour. But I decided this was not the right colour for my white linen dress, so I then bought Kelly Green in iDye Natural and it came out well, however the stitching had been done in a synthetic thread and this has not dyed and is still white, so I will need to do again with iDye Poly. So I would highly recommend using iDye Poly even if the garment looks like it is completely natural as manufacturers seem to prefer using synthetic thread.

This dye worked fine, not the best, the colour was ok , dark but more greeny than grey. However it took me running my machine 9 times after the dye was added and the rinse wash was preformed on the dyed items. That 9 3hour cycles totalling 27h of washing!!! I put a colour catcher in each wash to see if the dye was still present see photos and I was shocked at the results. After cycle 3 was still grey I added bleach to the drum as stated by the website as a last resort and it turned the grey dye pink! Finally after the 9th cycle the colour catcher came out white. I’ve used Dylon machine dyes in the past and they are more expensive but definitely don’t stay in your machine as long. Thank goodness I didn’t wash my white company sheets in here without 27 h of rinsing!!! Would not recommend will not use it again. It’s cost me a fortune in running costs.

Good and easy to use but doesn't soak into certain sewing threads. Would need to try.

This product is ok, except that the ink gets everywhere. If you find you have the slightest bit on your hand anything you touch will be stained. Also the clothing you have dyed requires a lot of washes before it is wearable and the top that i initially dyed black is actually now a navy blue. Although the colour is still nice, it wasn't the colour I wanted.

Easy to use ,and colour came out perfect ,will buy again

It works well, just pay attention to the instructions, you need to wear gloves. You need to cover all your kitchen surfaces to prevent splashing and staining of work surfaces etc. You will ruin a pan and any other instrument you use. You need to be in a well ventilated space (it really stinks). The colour worked well & evenly on the item I dyed, there has been some dye transfer after I've dried the item maybe because I stuck to the minimum time suggested. This is because I did not want to shrink the item too much.

I had a light grey tracksuit that had a sun damage line on it from where I’d left it in the sun to dry. As it was such a light grey I didn’t want to use trusty Dylon as the only grey they offer is a dark grey, too dark for this item and what I wanted. So after spending lots of time researching I found iDye. Found some great results on a similar shade of fabric and the colour was exactly what I was looking for. I have a front loading washer, so I looked on this company’s website and found some what were supposed to be handy tips on front loading washing. It recommended dissolving the dye first in hot water then adding it to the drum. I avoided lots of spins and the pre wash as also recommended and added 237g of salt as recommended. Worth noting as well the tracksuit weighs 800g, so well within the recommended 1.4kgs. The first time washing, there were absolutely no changes what so ever. I should have stopped there. I ran the washing machine a second time as directed. Nothing. A third time saw my tracksuit come out slightly darker but with horrid brown marks all over the place, in the most inconvenient places like for example the underarm, the crotch and the bottom 😫 After thrashing the item in the wash three times, the material has bobbled also. Can not begin to explain how disappointed I am with this product. I’ve had to go ahead and buy the dark grey Dylon to try and cover the brown stains. Ultimately this has ruined my very expensive tracksuit that I was trying to save and I’ve had to spend more to cover the damage. Maybe it’s because I have a front loading machine? Maybe if you have a top loader, the results may be better. However, for me with a 100% cotton item this was an epic fail. I would absolutely not recommend this product and I will not be buying it again, that’s for sure. I have asked for a refund and I hope that this is granted.

Bons résultats

follow instructions and all will be perfect. done in a kitchen sink and (stainless steel) great results. impressed.

It worked great on my old, stained silk shirt. I've had this shirt for over 16 years. It was cream colored and had a few stains on it that dry cleaning wouldn't get out. I decided I'd try dying it because what was the worst that could happen? I hand rinsed the shirt first (the label says "dry clean only") in cold water with a little distilled white vinegar. This way any chemicals that might remain from dry cleaning would be removed. I used the "stove top" method as described inside the box, though I'll admit I didn't simmer it like the box said, I just heated the water until the packet dissolved, added the white vinegar as recommended and stirred it for 30 minutes. I then spent quite a while rinsing it in cold water until the water ran pretty clear (I got impatient and stopped when it looked like I got most of the excess dye out). I then blotted the shirt in an old towel (which did get a smidgen of stain on it) and then ironed it on medium heat while it was still slightly damp. The shirt was still slightly damp when I took the picture, so the color looks a little uneven. But once it had dried completely, it looked great!! The stitching didn't take up the dye as well, but I don't mind about that. I really like the look of the shirt!

Very easy to use, little mess and even coverage of dye on my fabric. Would definitely use again.

Rien à redire : la couleur est top, bien couvrante, pas de taches ni de marbrure... (tout ce vert est destiné à un déguisement de Hulk)
