Procion MX Dye Color Set, Includes 8-8 Ounce Jars

Just got back into tie dye and at half the price of the nearest competitor this was a no brainer! The set includes fuchsia, lemon and turquoise, which are the considered "primaries" of this brand, plus jet black, so with a bit of experiment you can get a lot of colours and tones from the basic set. I actually find mixing purple to be preferable to the (extremely expensive) violet in the Jacquard range! Of the 8 colours in the set, I only found lemon yellow to be reluctant to dissolve if used at anything above 2 TSP (10g) per 250ml. It will leave surface residue if you use it for ice dyeing too, although the colour travels well in this technique. None of the colours in the set appear to "bleed" or crack into separate colours during dyeing. The black however is tricky to get really dark, I'd mix some fuchsia and turquoise with it to get a deeper tone. All told a good value investment in my latest craft craze!
