Lovely colors easy to use if you do your research. Stay bight and clear through many washings. Wonderful to make quilting fabrics with. Fun to mix and create new colors and be as creative as you wish to be. A plus is the customer service!!!

Wonderful dye - beautiful colours and highly recommended. I normally use Jacquard iDye for its simplicity smaller salt amount and no need for a fixer. However the colours are very limited and these Procion dyes are just beautiful. I bought Moss Green which is very rich and deep Sapphire Blue which is a very true darker blue (no reds or greens in it) Peony - very lovely pink but can be quite intense when more of the dye is used and Imperial Purple which is one of the most beautiful inky sexy purples! I just love it:) More on the bluish side which is what I wanted and very deep in colour. Using a smaller amount of this due yields a beautiful lighter blue-lavender shade and its just as delicious as the dark:) These dyes however do need to be very well dissolved and I recommend pouring the dye solution through a strainer lined with a paper towel. Keep adding water to the container the dye was mixed in to catch all of the particles as the colours separate a bit (you will see particles of reds blues and even yellows depending on the colour you are using) and swirl the water in the container to really get all of the particles out and strained through the paper towel. Once I did this I did not notice the tiny pin-prick dye spots on my fabric as I saw when I skipped this process and just dumped the dye solution into my water bath. This process is especially important for any dye that had red in it as red seems to be a very tricky colour to work with when dyeing.

The best dye for tie-dye batik fabric dye painting etc. Colorfast for years easy to use and inexpensive. I absolutely recommend it.

We've been using this dye for years and definitley worth the extra effort (mixing chemicals like a mad scientist!). We used syringes (without the needle) to make awesome colors - just slurp up a bit of this and a bit of that and some water and you can get some outrageous colors but not too much of it so it saves dye. Thumbs up.

There is no comparison between this dye and Ritfabric store dyes. It's more work but it shows.. The old addage "if a little is good more must be better" DOES NOT apply here. I must say with my first batch (olive green) I followed the directions to the letter and it came out way darker than I wanted. For my second batch I used half the amount of dye and cut the soak times by more than 50 percent..... Still darker than I would have liked! Note to new users such as myself: you will need to experiment if you are set on a particular shade.Bottom line: It isnt rocket science... Set aside plenty of time - especially on your first go - and (considering the advice above) follow the directions. You'll have great results!One more note: Having a front loader I used the low foam Synthaprol to wash. I shudder to think of the amount of foam I would have had with regular Synthaprol as it was still VERY sudsy with LF!

Love these dyes. So vibrant! I placed an order of about 15 colors mostly 8oz some 1lb. They came shipped so well in a timely manner. The containers were taped sealed so no spillage packed in packing peanuts and bubble wrap. Definitely recommend these dyes for anyone tie dying. They are extremely pigmented and apply beautifully.

No other dyes can bond and set like Dharmas! I have brightly dyed items that have not faded one bit over 5 years of wearing. I do use heating pads in a cooler to batch my designs AND use double suggested dye amounts along with lud F and urea in dye water. Just beautiful dyes all the way around! Thank you for the reforms and hoops yall jumped through to keep us in dyes! Much appreciated!!!

The black dye of which I tried at least two different ones better black and hot black both do not thoroughly rinse out in 2-3 washes even with Synthapol or commercial detergent. And if you have hard water the results turn out navy or dark purple. It has been quite disappointing not to mention I've wasted so much money. The colors probably work well. Black is tricky and I no longer use it.
