iDye Fabric Dye-Violet (For Polyester)

It did the job and did it well--but had to dye the dress twice. Also, my dress was 50% natural fiber and 50% poly, so I used one packet of 'idye poly' and one packet of 'idye for natural fabrics' both in violet as per Jacquard's online instructions. So, in total, two dye jobs with 2 packets=4 packets of dye for one size large dress. An investment and much more dye than I thought I would need for a single dress, but worth it to get the color right. And I am very very happy with the final result. I was not looking for a tie-dye look--I wanted a solid professional-looking color to transform my off-white semi-formal dress. This may be user error on my part--either I didn't leave it in long enough or else the dress was so heavy that it just needed more packages of dye to really saturate the fabric (the package does say for 2-3 lbs of fabric only). While my dress was definitely under that weight limit, it was long-sleeve and floor-length with a slip, so it was a rather large volume of fabric though not weighty, so you kind of have to take the weight limit as a guide, not an absolute. The first time I dyed the dress it came out very mottled and uneven--very tie-dyed look. The second time did the trick--a perfect even DEEP and RICH purple color, very professional and exactly the hue I was looking for. Both times I let the dye soak in at a very low simmer on the stove (not boiling, but hot to the touch) for about 45 minutes. I dyed the dress in a large pot on the stove--trust me when I say make sure you wear heavy rubber gloves and have lots of paper towels on hand when working with this dye--it will get everywhere and stain your hands in an instant. Also make sure to have a couple of cups of non-iodized salt on hand, which is needed as per the instructions.

Not strong colouring and it stained, i follower as prescribed but still it made all these stains on my sweater

Ottimo si tesoro poliestere facile da usare. Colore molto intenso

I've used this brand quite a few times and always with good results, even colour and close to the picture on the packet. However, I use them in the washing machine as I find hand dyeing unsatisfactory as the item always turns out streaky and uneven. As was dyeing large curtains, doing it on the hob wasn't an option anyway. I mixed up two packets with the solution sent and put it in the soap drawer, put in the damp article and make sure the programme is set to one which reaches 90d. Turned out fine.
