This dye is absolutely amazing.
Use tissue to test color before applying and label your bottles. Fuscia and Engine red are very close in color. Be sure to use 100%cotton and personal in water with soda ash for 20 min.
I Looove my dyed items.
Best tie dye product I've ever used. I have tried many other brands of dye and this is by far the brightest and has even stayed vibrant after numerous washes. I dyed 40 shirts one weekend for a school project and they all came out awesome! I did follow the directions and used Synthrapol and the soda ash. I will definitely purchase this again for future projects.
These colors came out really vibrant and we had a lot of success mixing them as well. The powder was also really fun to use with ice: put the ice on top of your article and put the powder directly onto the ice. Comes out with some really cool effects.
I bought this to do multiple solid color dyes on cut pattern pieces for a colorblock hoodie. I chose this item because it had a good assortment of the colors I needed, and a few extras for future projects-- cheaper than if I tried to buy only the colors I needed individually.
The item itself was generally as expected-- the only thing that caught me off guard was that the yellow included was Lemon Yellow instead of Golden Yellow. The description only stated "Yellow" with no specification... so I leaned towards assuming it would be as pictured. I needed both Lemon and Golden-- so thinking I wasn't getting Lemon here, I ordered it separately. Now I have MANY jars of Lemon Yellow! I ended up mixing the Lemon Yellow with a little of the Brilliant Orange to get a more golden color-- not perfect, but it worked.
Things to note:
Visually, the amount of product in each jar varied. As I used and learned more, I realized that this *might* be because different colors have different weights & the product is sold by weight. So there isn't exactly a set teaspoon amount in each jar.
Since this was a solid color project instead of tie-dye, I measured the dye out by weight instead of dry measurements to be sure I matched Jacquard's color card of what I wanted to achieve. All colors came out as expected, EXCEPT for the Medium Blue. For me it imparted more of a light blue. Come to find out that Medium Blue is actually a standardized Procion color (MX-R) and other brands actually market it as a "Sky Blue". So Jacquard's swatch and name is misleading there.
This was my first time using Procion MX Dye, and it was generally an easy process. I followed the directions from Jacquard's website, and also referenced Dharma. I highly recommend that everyone check it out for resources and understanding what the best dye for your project & fabric is!
Lastly, I found using a digital thermometer incredibly useful. I used my kitchen meat thermometer, and kept it submerged the entire time. Among varying amounts of salt and soda ash, water temp is also a significant factor.
These are the best dyes for tie dying. Bright, colorfast, and great selection for the price. Don't forget your soda ash to go along with this product.

I LOVE this dye set! Beautiful colors. Shipping was fast as well.
Easy to use. Pretty colors. I've probably done about 25 shirts with this set and can probably do about 15 more.
These are far better than Ritt (at every grocery store). Yes, follow the directions. But, in my experience, it is so much better to let the fabrics sit with the dye for at least 24 hours!
Great for ice dyeing especially; I love the diffused color. Otherwise, these work all right for tie-dyeing but they're definitely better if you add urea.
I had a tie dye party and this dye has deep, bright colors, we were all so pleased with the results.
