Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Easy to use and mix. Truer color with lasting results. So much better than Rit dyes. But follow mixing instructions to a tee. DON'T GO BY THE MIXED LIQUID COLOR YOU SEE. The first time I tried to dye pants an emerald green, I mixed the colors per the instructions and the mix looked mustard yellowish pea green. Yuck. So I played chemist and added colors until the mix was a beautiful green. When I ran it through the soak process my pants came out dark BROWN. I had to bleach them four times to get the color light enough to color over. When I did the process again (following the color mix chart this time) the nasty color mix turned the pants the beautiful green I wanted. Lesson #1 learned. Another instruction to not skip... I pulled a pair of shorts from my drawer to dye navy blue. They were beautiful at first but then faded with the first wash. My fault! I didn't think I needed the pre-wash step since the shorts were clean. But I use a fabric softener and that binds to the cloth so the dye won't hold. Definitely wash first with a detergent that has no additives or softeners. And don't use a fabric dryer sheet either. Lesson #2 learned! Since following the instructions I've successfully dyed several pieces and they all came out great. P.S. I'm posting this review for the Jet Black, Turquoise, Lemon Yellow and Fuchsia as I bought the four colors that are the basis for all other colors in the spectrum (CMYK in printing terms).
