Jacquard iDye Fabric Dye 14 Grams-Black

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.

Arrived on time, and worked great. This dye is very green though and it wasn't a really flattering colour for a shirt. I had used two older white shirts of my husbands and used this to dye green for a wedding. I doubt he will wear the shirts again, but to no fault of the product. If you are dyeing clothes, just realize that this colour is verrrrrry green.

looks great!!

This is very good dye. It's easy to use and doesn't stain anything except what you're dying. Apparently doesn't bleed, either. Using this was a much more pleasant experience than my last attempt at dying something with RIT. That said, I was trying to dye some ugly light green cotton/poly curtains a darker, prettier shade, and while they look much better now, they didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted. But that was probably on me, not the dye. Because I didn't have a big enough pot for the stovetop method, I used a front-loading washer. It says on the Jacquard website that you can do this, but my experience is that it's not recommended, at least not with big items like curtains. Supposedly the amount of dye was appropriate for two 84" panels, but I don't think there was enough water in the washer. Also, it was impossible to keep the water as hot as it should be. I have my hot water heater turned up all the way and also threw at least 8 quarts of boiling water into the washer, but it needs to be that hot for at least 1/2 hour of agitation and I don't think it was. Perhaps if my item had been smaller so it moved more freely in the water, the temp wouldn't have mattered so much. But whatever, I think my curtains would have been darker if I'd had more water and/or hotter water. Darker is what I wanted. It also didn't smell nearly as bad as some reviewers indicated. There *is* an odor, and I think it gave me a mild episodic headache, but it's not anywhere near overwhelming as long as you have your windows open and a decent cross breeze. Perhaps the really negative reviews about the odor were from people who couldn't or didn't open their windows, or maybe who have severe chemical sensitivities. In the past the odor might have bothered me a lot, but since I've improved my health my sensitivity to odors has remarkably diminished. So I didn't find it troublesome. I was very happy to find that there was no green residue left in my washer. I washed some old green and blue things (stuff that no longer bleeds) right after I got done with the curtains, and also threw a snow-white rag in there to see if there was any staining or residual dye left in the machine. Not a bit. So I consider this product a win. What I'm going to do is get a bigger pot and two packets of dye and try again, stovetop, following the directions precisely, doing only one curtain panel at a time. I liked this product enough to try again. My main quibble doesn't have to do with the product itself but with the Amazon listing. In Amazon product description it says for "100% natural fabrics", but then the picture of the product is of iDye Poly, which is only for synthetic fabrics or blends. I asked the seller a question on Amazon, which went unanswered. Decided to buy anyway, and what I actually received was iDye Poly, which would not have worked if I'd had 100% natural fabric like cotton or silk. But for synthetic fabrics and blends, highly recommended!

I actually used this to dye a synthetic wig. In a bucket I mixed with enough hot water to cover the wig and left for 30 minutes. Came out a lovely dark green
