Dylon Permanent Fabric Dye (1.75 Ounce) -Black

I tried to dye a white shirt. As soon as I washed it all the dye was washed away and the cloth did not take up the colour at all and was completely white after washing. I followed the instructions as mentioned on the packet. Still this happened.

The small amount of dye is useful for handkerchief size garment. Not cost effective at all.

thanks

V bad product.just gives a light navy blue color instead of black

It was written pack of 3 in the features and description but I received only a single pack.Product is fine. It doesn't do a great job like you would expect. But it would make a faded pant look better.

Such a worst product....waste of money and time too

Waste of money n time

U may want to waste ur money buy this ....so dont buy this u buy i dont care da thambi

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!

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

Didn’t work on what I intended to dye. Did dye a lot of other things in it though so it’s great but double check the suggested materials are the same as the material you plan to dye.

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

This was the worst dye I have every bought! The dye did not take to the 100% cotton sweater I was trying to dye from a light grey to black. I followed the instructions to the letter and when I went to rinse the sweater, ALL the dye just rinsed away. ALL OF IT. It was like the sweater hadn't even been the dye but it was for like an hour. SO disappointed.
