JacquardiDye for Natural Fabrics .49 Oz - Olive

I am thrilled with the effectiveness of this dye - very consistent result, true color, and simple instructions. I have a king-size sheet set (flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases) that I wanted to dye olive green. I found this iDye product on Amazon. I was a little concerned, since there was only one review and I didn't want to ruin what are fairly new and expensive sheets. They were a mint green that clashes with our other colors. (Note iDye has this product for natural fabrics and a different dye for polyester and nylon blends.)Anyway, I took the plunge hoping for the best. I decided to do the entire sheet set at one time and diligently followed the instructions that came with the dye. I used a top-load washing machine and two packets of dye (based on the weight of sheet set). Since the fabric needed to be pre-wetted, I simply washed the sheets first and set them aside. Then I turned the temperature up on our hot water heater and gave it time to heat - this might not be necessary, but the instructions make it clear that you need very hot water. Then, I filled the machine to medium load (normally I wash them on high load, but this was just enough room for them to move freely). I added the two soluble dye packets and let them agitate for 30 seconds, added 1-1/2 cups of Morton Plain Salt (non-iodized), and added the sheet set. I extended the dyeing time to 60 minutes, per the instructions for better fixation, by resetting the wash cycle several times before it drained to move to the rinse cycle. After that, I let the cycle complete and washed the sheet set from start with a mild detergent in cold water. Then into the dryer. I turned the water heater back to normal and ran a cleaning wash/rinse cycle. I'm providing the detail in case it's helpful. It might seem like a lot, but was actually quite simple.The sheets are now back on the bed - they look and feel great. I don't expect any trouble, but I'll add info if something goes wrong as we use and wash the sheets. Finally, I had to answer some questions about this "toy" - since the dye is sold by a toy store and fulfilled by Amazon. I picked the highest ratings, but have nothing to do with the toy questions.

Great product love the color. If a deep cooler is needed get 2 packs. Could give a little more for the price. I washed in cold water so it woul not bleed.

This product did not dye my fabric. At all. I used two packages. Small load. Hottest water. Follow the directions on the packaging. Very disappointed.I will be going back to RIT dye.

Love the product and it was exactly the color I wanted 👍

Not a fan of them putting a sticker on the back packaging. Took me 5 min to get enough of it off to read. I decided to do stove top Method and it worked out pretty well. There are some spots that didn't dye but I'm pretty sure that's bc I couldn't mix it in my pot well (too small a pot). I'll cover them with stuff anyways. This was a cotton canvas bag.

Somehow my sage and olive green clothing pieces are bleaching out in spots, in the wash. I still haven't figured that one out yet. I bought this to over-dye them, to give them the color back that my washing process has removed. It worked. I'm pleased with the product. I'll buy this again if I keep accidentally bleaching out my olive clothing.

Cool color. Easy to use. Nice.

Wanted to love it. But it didn’t it die evenly unfortunately. Disappointed.
