iDye for Natural and Poly Fabrics
USE FOR: Quick, easy, no fuss dye jobs, solid color dyeing, single color tie dye
USE ON: All natural fabrics including cotton and silk (iDye Natural), polyester and nylon (iDye Poly)
This is as easy as dyeing gets!
iDye comes in 38 colors - 30 colors for 100% natural fabrics (such as cotton, silk, rayon, wool, and linen) and 8 colors for polyesters and nylons. (**CAREFUL, all Polyesters and Nylons are not created equal - see instructions below for clarification.) It is great for quick and easy dye jobs and easy for beginners. It is very important to scroll below or click above on the product description and instructions, to see how to use it, and if it will work for your situation. Better than "grocery store" dyes, not as permanent as professional dyes like our Dharma Fiber Reactive Procion type dye. Wash finished garments dyed in iDye with like colors in cool water. Jacquard has also added a new fixative to improve wash fastness.
Each iDye packet contains 14 grams (about ½oz.) of dye powder and will dye at least 2 to 3 pounds of fabric in 30 minutes. For the darker colors, more intense color, better color fastness, blends and synthetics, simmering on the stove will provide the best results, but otherwise, a washing machine with regular hot water works just fine. The new fixative can be used in the washing machine as well.

Product Description

The best way to dye fabrics and garments for longevity and brilliance is, hands down, using professional dyes like Dharma Procion Fiber Reactive Dyes, or Acid dyes for wool and silk, and going through all the steps, chemicals and measuring. But, we don’t always have the time and/or energy for doing things the ‘long way’. Maybe we need a ‘quickie’ for a party or costume, or to renew a faded or stained garment, or, gosh darn it, we only want to dye one or a few garments and we don’t want leftover dyes and chemicals. So we have a new product – iDye - for a no muss-no fuss basic dye job. Just pre-wash your items, toss a packet into your washing machine with hot water (or a large pot to simmer it on the stove for a bit), add some household salt or vinegar depending on the fabric, and that’s it. Dyeing has never been easier.

iDye comes in 38 colors — 30 colors for 100% natural fabrics such as cotton, silk, rayon, wool, and linen, and 8 colors for polyesters and nylons. Each iDye packet contains 14 grams of pure dye powder (no fillers like grocery or drug store dyes) and will dye 2 to 3 pounds of fabric (or more for lighter colors). For the darker colors, more intense color or synthetics, simmering on the stove will provide the best and most colorfast results, but otherwise, a washing machine with regular hot water is the easiest way to go.

For those of you who remember Deka L, this dye is the closest thing for sale in this country to that old favorite. Like Deka L, iDye is also what is called a "direct" dye. It has reasonable washfastness and lightfastness, is not as fade proof and color fast as Procion or Acid type dyes, but way better than the brands you will find at your local market whose names shall remain nameless. In our tests it worked very well on silk, cotton, and rayon. The iDye Poly worked fine on our nylon fabric and a polyester garment one of our employees had, as long as we simmered that one on the stove. **But CAREFUL, all Polyesters and Nylons are not created equal - some are made to be dyed and a few aren't. Has to do with patents and treatments and molecular structure. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell by tags or by looking. You just have to TEST. We did not get such great results on feathers or wool and still recommend Acid dye as the dye of choice for those. We also found that we got better results when we dyed each batch all the same type of fabric, ie. didn't mix rayons and cottons in the same dye bath. But we did get very even level results and pretty bright colors! We do recommend washing finished garments in cool water with like colors after the initial washout in hot water to get out the excess dye.

One of the great things about iDye is that the packet dissolves in water, so there is no handling of messy dye powders or chemicals. Just throw the dye packet in the hot water, add household salt or vinegar, depending on your fabric, stir or agitate in your machine 30 minutes, then wash it out. It is the ultimate easy way to get color!

Conforms to ASTM D-4236. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid inhalation and contact with eyes. Made in the USA.

iDye Instructions
iDye Instructions
Easy to use soluble dye packet. For all natural fabrics plus many polyesters and nylons! Dyes 2 to 3 pounds of fabric. (1-1.3 kg.) Keep in mind that for lighter colors, you can dye more fabric, and for the darkest colors, go with less fabric.
Which Dye Should I Use?
• for 100% natural fabrics (cotton, rayon, silk, wool, etc.) use iDye
• for 100% polyester or nylon use iDye Poly **IMPORTANT - some polyesters and nylons just won't take dye - we don't know why. Most will, but some won't. You just have to TEST!
• for polyester or nylon/natural blends use iDye and the corresponding or closest color of iDye Poly (see below)
For best results:
• Pre-wash garment to remove any sizings, softeners, finishes, grease and oils, etc.
• Use the stove top method for dark colors (black, brown or olive) or very intense colors (bright yellow, reds, etc.) Items dyed with the stove top method will be more washfast than items dyed in the washing machine because you can get more heat. Also use the stove top method for iDye Poly, or dyeing blends.
• Use constant agitation for uniform color.
• Use iDye Fixative to improve wash fastness, color retention and reduce bleeding.
• Wash finished garments with like colors in cool water.
Note: utensils and pot for dyeing should not be used for food.
Top load washing machine method for natural fabrics:
1. Fill washing machine with JUST enough HOT water for the fabric to move freely. Important not to use too much water, but also for the fabric to move freely.
2. Add the iDye soluble dye. Agitate for 30 seconds to dissolve packet. The water in a washing machine won't be as hot as on the stove top, so make absolutely sure the packet and dye are COMPLETELY dissolved before adding any clothing or fabric.
3. Add one cup (237 ml.) of salt for cotton, linen and rayon. Add 1/3 cup (78 ml.) of white vinegar for silk and wool. (Although you might want to do wool the stove top way so it doesn't felt!) Make sure everything is thoroughly mixed and/or dissolved.
4. Add pre-wetted fabric.
5. Extend the dyeing time by resetting the wash cycle before the rinse cycle begins.
6. The longer the dyeing time, the darker the color and better the fixation. Unless you want a really light color, we suggest a minimum of 30 minutes agitation. Run it through a rinse cycle and then wash the garment(s) in a regular cycle with HOT water and a mild detergent and dry.
Front load washing machine method:
Follow top load method, except add everything to beginning of cycle.
Stove top method:
1. Fill a stainless steel or enamel pot with just enough hot water for the fabric to move freely. Turn on medium to high heat.
2. Add the iDye (for natural fibers) or iDye Poly (for Polyester or Nylon) soluble dye packet to water and stir.
    (2a. For iDye Poly; open the included Color Intensifier packet and empty into dyepot.)
3. Add pre-washed wet garments or fabric and raise temperature to a simmer.
4. Add one cup (237 ml.)of salt for cotton, linen and rayon. Add 1/3 cup (78 ml.) of white vinegar for silk and wool. Avoid pouring directly onto fabric.
5. Maintain temperature and stir frequently for ½ hour (or up to an hour for darker colors or iDye Poly).
6. Rinse, then wash the garment with HOT water and a mild detergent and dry.
For Polyester or Nylon/natural fiber blends:
1. Choose an iDye Poly color closest to the iDye color you are dyeing and add both packets to dye bath.
2. Follow stove top method. Allow dye mixture to come to a simmer for ½ to 1 hour. Since you are using 2 packets, keep in mind you could dye twice as much fabric.

This is really a great simple easy to use dye that can be done just in your washing machine. The colors are vibrant on natural fabrics. I dyed a velour shirt and a cotton shirt with turquoise and the color turned out very vibrant and hasn't faded or bled at all. Just make sure you can keep resetting the agitate cycle!

This product is so easy to use and gives brilliant results, even with linen and unbleached denim. It may be a bit expensive for someone who dyes in bulk but for someone like myself who is doing a project and has a certain color in mind it can't be beat. I have a set of Procion powders down in my art supplies but I never seem to have the time to spread out wet newspapers, get out the dust mask, measuring devices, etc.... I love iDye, and no, it doesn't leave your washing machine tub violet (or whatever).

This dye works very very well. Almost too well! I was used to using Rit dye on cotton and getting a faded result, so when I wanted just a dingy brown for the nylon slips I was dying, I bought chocolate. They are, after 4 cups of bleach in the wash, still very very chocolate brown.

It's a fantastic product, and I will be doing test batches for colors from now on :)

I bought 3 different colors to dye cotton fabric. I must say the dye is easy to use, but it's difficult and confusing in the end of the process. Let me explain. I followed the "stove top" method and "cooked" the fabric for 30 minutes. Then I followed the instruction to wash the fabric, but no matter how much I washed, the dye kept coming out. I don't know how long the color will stay in the fabric, will it eventually fade away? But over all, this is a easy dye to work with. I will buy different colors again.

I can't even begin to count how many things I have dyed at this point. I started with it for fun and to refresh old clothes. When my bridesmaids were having no luck for months I decided to check out white dresses and use this dye on them. Easy as pie, they were all finished in one day and turned out EXACTLY the colors they were supposed to be. I've dyed it all silk, nylon, rayon, cotton, poly...Including the over 45 pieces I have dyed for wedding stuff. I think I have become addicted so fun to see what you get when you are done! Enjoy!

I've done 2 batches so far, washer method. 1st batch was Aztec Gold and Sun Yellow, cottons and linens. Came out intense! 2nd batch was Emerald and Turquoise, mixed cottons and an inherited fabric, thought to be silk. Called Jacquard, they told me to try using vinegar AND salt because of my mixed fibers. Mixed results - the cotton took fairly well. The (?) silk didn't change much.
Washer tub didn't discolor. Used Dye Fixative. Haven't washed anything yet (must sew first!!)
Summary: will use again! Will know to expect the unexpected.

These dyes now contain a warning to wash in cold with like colors, but did not before I purchased.

This notation is because the dye is not washfast in the least. It is a direct dye, which is the same type of dye as Rit. It creates a bond with itself, not with the fabric, so will never set to the fabric properly. It will always bleed.

I have about 16 pounds of fabric ruined by these dyes. Ruined. The dye will never set, and they will never stop bleeding. I have been trying to strip the dye out of the fabric, using the Dharma color remover, but that is proving even more frustrating, as my fabric is 8 layers thick in some places, so the dye will not leave the fabric. It just keeps bleeding and bleeding.

I am so disappointed and feel that the product description was misleading when I purchased, stating that it was better than grocery store dye and "not as washfast as Procion dyes". "Not as washfast" would imply to me that it is still reasonably washfast, which it is not.

Unless you are buying this to dye a one time use item, or something that will never get wet or need washed, do not waste your money.

Horrible product!

I am very disappointed. I dyed fleece(wool) and it didn't color much and it keeps bleeding. This is going to ruin the fleece and the finished yarn! It did say it works for wool and I assumed it was the same as the great acid dyes but in a different package. What's the point of selling dye that doesn't work?? Very upsetting!

Service was excellent, very helpful and knowledgeable person. I bought one IDYE for cotton and one for poly since my son's sweat suit was cotton/poly blend. I have never been able to get truly vibrant colors this way.

This was my second time dying fabric - the first time many years ago was a disaster. Dying with iDye was so easy, it makes me want to buy all my clothes white and dye them custom colors. We died white sweats and hoodie sunny yellow for a pikachu costume, and the color came out FANTASTIC. I highly recommend iDye, especially for first time dyers. I did do my dying on the stove top, rather than the washer. This was recommended for brighter colors.

I had never dyed anything before so I was a bit uneasy doing it myself. However, the instructions on the packaging (and the Dharma website) were very detailed and easy to follow. It was a simple process (I did the stovetop method) and the clothes for my son's costume came out perfectly and the color was true to the color on the packaging.

They dyes are vibrant and even the black was very true. The service was very good and I will definitely order from you again.

These are really nice dyes with great results--I would suggest using the stovetop method for solid true color, as my washing machine at least results in a lighter color than intended. Even with the stovetop, however, you can't beat these dyes for simplicity of use, price, and color!

Very easy to use, but does wash out, so clothing requires special handling.

I went out and bought a pan to dye on top of the stove and followed all the instructions. I dyed men's polyester bathing suits that had faded. They looked great. My husband then wore one and went swimming. He sat on his boat seat and it turned green! (Just like the swimsuit) He was very upset. I then checked both swimsuits and they are bleeding green and orange. The orange one has less color in the water. Any way to fix???

The red die was not red, it was orange. The die did stain my washing machine.

Dyeing anything black is often problematic. Dyeing polyester in a non-industrial environment is almost impossible. This works about as well as I expected.

Haven't used the green yet, but the pink was more of a fuchsia. I may not have performed the coloration perfectly because the color still leaks a little in the wash. I will wash a few more times to make sure.

Colors take well and easy to use but very dark and takes a lot of water to rinse out all the extra dye. The gun metal turned out navy blue. The other colors turned out as expected.
