Jacquard iDye Fabric Dye Silver Grey for Natural Fibre Textiles 14g No Mess Packet

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.

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.

I bought this to dye some pale grey linen curtains - I wasn't sure what material the stitching thread was and I wanted it to match and so I used half dye for man made fabrics and half this dye for natural fabrics in the same colour. The colour came out exactly the shade I wanted - a charcoal grey. This isn't really a 'silver' colour at all but I had read reviews and blogs that suggested this was a good charcoal colour.I've given this 4 stars instead of 5 simply because it is not the sort of dye you put in a washing machine - which would be far easier. I don't have a giant pan that would fit 4 full length curtains in - so I had to use the washing machine and hope for the best. The colour was a bit patchy, but once the curtains are up no one can tell unless I point it out, so I can live with it.

Was exactly what I wanted although it took a while to arrive. Idye is definitely my preference for machine dying.

I used this together with the idye dark brown to give a saturated but more neutral greyed off tone to a pair of stone cords. It was the second colour I used so I'm not sure how it would turn out on its own, but the other idye's I've used have come out true to the swatches so would assume the same. Great colour range to chose from and easy to use. I used the cheapest salt from the supermarket to add to the wash as directed. The idye website is informative if you need more info before purchasing. I'm very happy with the results.

This product was easy to use and had a really good colour fastness and uniformity. There are different ways to use it, I like to boil heat it in a large stainless steel pot and stir the fabrics inside it.

Good product would use again. Nice colour and curtains look brand new, saved lots of money by using this dye

Good. Dye didn't take as well as I would have liked - I tried a cooler wash 60 degree as last time on 90 the dye colour was too strong. My fault.
