DYLON Hand Dye, Fabric Dye Sachet for Clothes, Soft Furnishings and Projects, 50 g - Intense Black

Used on jeans and shorts, revitalised both. Followed instructions and the staining was consistent over the material . Easy to use.

Easy to use,great dye! I wanted to dye a bright red top to be purple/plum and wasn’t sure any dye would cover the red but this one made it a really nice colour.It turned out very even and not a single patchy part! Recommend this.

I got it to dye a while cotton sweathshirt. I loved the sweatshirt, but not the colour. The colour came a bit..uneven in places. A bit like tie-dye project but it looks good. It is quite easy instructions to follow and do it. This dye did not work on the embrodery but I would probably colour it again with a dye for synchetics later on. Unfortunately, the app does not allow me to attach photos.

Works well colour good for jeans. Easy to use in machine or even by hand.

When the summer arrived and my blue shorts came out of the draw it was obvious that they had become faded over time and needed replacing. There didn’t seem to be any similar quality alternatives available (on line at the time or so it seemed) so I thought that perhaps they could be dyed instead. The shorts themselves were cotton based with white and blue inside banding and white pockets within . I opted to dye them dark blue to restore them to the original colour. Since I was familiar with the name DYLON it was the obvious choice and for six quid , new shorts it was a no brainer. The instructions are on the packet but essentially and ideally what you need is a large plastic storage box type receptacle, although a washing up bowl or your kitchen sink will do, 250 grams of ordinary table/cooking salt , rubber gloves and possibly if you don’t wear specs some form of eye protection. On dyeing day I prepared the plastic box filled it with the prescribed amount of warm water and stirred in the salt and colour dye as per instructions using a plastic kitchen utensil ( the one you use for turning eggs over). You have to pre soak the garment in plain water prior to immersing it in the mixture . Once immersed it is important to regularly stir the pot to make sure that there are no are pockets in the material and that all material is submerged. I found that placing one of those plastic draining board grids on top of the clothing helped to keep it down. After following all this procedure I eventually lifted out the shorts , rinsed them as instructed and then hung them up to dry. I now have new shorts and the good news is that because it doesn’t dye synthetic material, the waste band and pockets remained white as before. I was then left with a storage box full of dark blue water and decided to chance dyeing a pair of similar style beige trousers and see what happened . This left over liquid managed to turn them into a reasonable mid blue colour although the beige buttons and nylon stitching are a bit of a giveaway. However they have now been given a perfect undercoat and would probably go all the way to dark blue next time with a fresh brew. Disposing of the left over liquid is down to your own conscience, but the good news is that the storage box and the egg slice were unscathed. In conclusion you cannot dye every material or expect dramatic colour change or end up with the colour you expect.

I’ve used Dylon Machine pods with great success in the past. This is the first time I’ve used Dylon hand dye. I used the hand dye because I only had one small item, light in weight and in colour, so it seemed a waste to get a machine pod for such a small item. It was a fail, despite following the instructions exactly. I had tried to dye an XS shirt that was 100% Linen and weighed less than 200g. It was a really evenly light mauve colour originally. So I thought Brown would be a sensible choice to colour it. It was easy enough to do, the instructions are clear. The colour is exactly as shown and really intense, which I am happy with. I really like the colour It’s exactly the colour I had hoped that it would be and the only reason I gave one star, for the colour and for the ease of dying. But ultimately the result came out so patchy and my shirt is currently looking like a tie dye 50 shades of brown. It looks like it’s got faded sweat stains all over it. I’ve tried to capture in a photo, but you can’t quite see the many different shades of brown in the light. It also has black spots all over the place too, despite dissolving the dye powder first in warm water. I wasn’t expecting an amazing result, but what I have got is disappointing. Especially give the item is 100% linen. I do like that the buttons and inside branding tag and machine wash logo stayed pure white. I will now need to buy another packet and dye the shirt again, which is disappointing because I was using the hand dye because I was trying to avoid being excessive for such a small job. I wanted to avoid waste. I would recommend that if you are going to try these sachets, buy two incase anything goes wrong. But, I think for me, I’ll probably stick to the machine pods and wouldn’t buy this again nor would I recommend this product.

Good quality perfect for the application I needed it for

Super cute colour! I weighed my top (85g) so I only had to use 85g salt, 17g of the dye and 2L water. Still have enough to dye more this way. Easy to use and not patchy. Kept the logo colour the same.

what is there to say? - good and dependable as per

It worked as I had hoped. I dyed an old grey cotton button down shirt that I bought at the Gap years ago. It turned out well and was easy to use. I am not sure how long the color will last but it seemed to do a good job. It looks good so far.

Es war einfach anzuwenden und hat für eine große Kochschürze ausgereicht.

Ho comprato questo prodotto molte volte , addirittura prima della Brexit , e mi sono trovata sempre molto bene. Non serve la lavatrice ed e' molto facile come procedura anche se piuttosto lunga. La varietà dei colori non e' vastissima ma sono comunque molto belli. In linea di massima sono molto soddisfatta ma... alla consegna , questa volta, mi sono state chieste le spese doganali, come se il prodotto arrivasse da un qualsiasi paese asiatico e non dall'Inghilterra. Non era una cifra esorbitante ma mi sono sentita "truffata". Ho intavolato una lunga e infruttuosa discussione con un mio collega che sosteneva che fosse "normale". Blaterava di accordi o non accordi tra Stati Cee e Estra-comunitari e del fatto che avrei dovuto comprare il prodotto in europa etc. Non sono d'accordo. Brexit o non brexit la gente non DEVE essere truffata, che sia nella Cee o che sia in Gran Bretagna. Soddisfatta a metà.
