Used 3 times: chartreuse, sun yellow & crimson. Two different yarns: 100% wool, the other 100% merino wool. On the stove. All three outcomes are AMAZING. I never exceeded 400 oz of yarn. The chartreuse and sun yellow are VIBRANT. I made some scarves. No bleeding or color washout and I have washed them a few times. Crimson used 4 skeins of yarn, so I knitted each skein on a machine into a 'blank' (about 85 st across) and dyed them in the pot as four solid objects (Doing this made the process SO effortless and easy; easier to rinse and dry). Color is amazing (crimson) and even. It was easier to dye the knitted object compared to the strands of yarn (too much time to unravel). I am working on the sweater with this dyed yarn and each strand (dk weight) is even and perfect in color. I already have a few more 'blanks' ready to dye more colors. This is the BEST product I have used to date! No mess, easy cleanup!

I was trying to dye some curtains black that were brown. The tag on curtains was gone so not sure what they are made of. Regular dye didn't work and this dye didn't either. It was worth a shot so that's why I rated product average. I think curtains are destined to remain brown. Just not at my house!

I adored the convenience and the cleanup was a breeze - BUT - when the package arrived, the weather had been drizzly/humid/warm for a few days, and the color-remover packet had dissolved and soaked into the paper packaging, rendering it useless.

The two dye packets were soft and tacky to the touch, but had not completely melded with the packaging, so I was still able to use them with care.

So I would definitely recommend the product, but would urge you to check the weather forecast before ordering by mail.

Also - to the retailer - could you maybe put the packets in a baggie with a dessicant-packet before shipping?

I used to work at a yarn shop and sold fiber dyes. Many of the reviewers who said that the dye didn't work on this site did not specify the type of fiber content in their piece. If in doubt of fiber content-- don't dye! Most cotton t-shirts have polyester thread where they are sewn together and the thread will stay white even though the shirt says 100% cotton. If the dye comes off on your skin it is because the material did not absorb it and it is probably not 100% natural fiber.

I ordered the product to dye a red garment black. Therefore, I went through the color removing procedure, followed all the instructions for the stove top dying, and added the green packet to "kill" the red. When the garment came out of the pot, it looked beautiful. The red was completely covered and the black was deep. The first time I washed it, the black looked faded and you could see the red still.
But, when I wore it, the dye stained my skin and everything it touched. I figured it was my fault, maybe I hadn't washed it enough. So I wash it again, and the garment comes out looking red again.
So, what I can tell you is that the dye is not colorfast at all.

I tried iDye Poly Black to dye a 100% polyester satin sash from chocolate brown to black using the stove top method.

Instead of black I got a dark espresso brown. I'm not sure why I didn't get black. The color appears to be very permanent (no dye transfer from sash to skin).

I purchased a package of Violet for natural fabrics at our local art supply store, before I found out it's less expensive here.I used it in the washing machine with hot water.I dyed a used cotton tablecloth that was an off white in color with a pastel plaid design on it, and some 100% cotton white fabric which I forgot to wash first.I did let the items sit in the washer for about an hour before going on to the rinse cycle.They came out great.They couldn't be any more purple, which is what I wanted.The plaid barely shows through the purple dye.I figured it would still be prominent, but it's not.The fabric turned out a bit blotchy but that works fine for the quilting I want to do with it.I think it's because I didn't wash it first.I will definitely use these dyes again!

Used this product to dye some under-armour T-shirts and other poly- clothes. Works much better than Rit-dye and some others I have tried. If directions are followed carefuly- works great- but if you want to get more out of it still works and gives a wide array of colors. Only recommend doing this on undergarments you do not care about, though. If the stove-top method is utilized, the colors will not fade even on propritery material. Wonder why [...], and other big-box retaliers do not carry this product?That is my .08-cents worth.V/RDG

I tried multiple methods with this dye. It does not work AT ALL for machine dyeing. The water needs to be near the boiling point for the dye to adhere to the fabric. The problem I had when I used the stovetop method is that even with ample room, and constant stirring, the dye comes out uneven when heated high enough to work. I would not recommend this product.

the poly umbrella i tried to dye, and i do mean tried, was not touched by the dye. It came out the same exact faded color. I used orange and red together in my top load on hottest setting and am very disappointed.
