5.0 out of 5 stars Followed instructions (mostly), achieved great results.
*Jan. 17, 2017: They're starting to slightly fade, but only very slightly. Certainly not any more than a newly purchased pair.*Apr. 13, 2016: Still no issues with fading, they still look good.*Jan. 6, 2016: They still look good. I'll stress to wash them separately the first 3-5 times to avoid staining other clothes.I like how the jeans and shirts I dyed turned out. I should have taken a before picture, but I didn't plan on writing a review until after I finished. The jeans were very faded, almost white at the knees and some permanent dirt stains. I followed the instructions for the most part, but here's what I did, which allowed me to not have to use a cup of salt for each pair of jeans: 3 gallons of 150°F water in a bucket, mixed one cup of salt, 1 packet of navy blue and 1/2 packet of black. The instructions specify one packet per pound of fabric, since these jeans weigh 1.5 pounds, that's right on spec.I submerged the first pair of jeans in hot clean water first before placing into the dye solution as per Rit's instructions, but I didn't do that for the three subsequent pairs, I can't see any difference in the end result. I left the jeans in the dye for about 30 minutes each, mixing with gloved hands and sticks about every 10 minutes or so. Rit's instructions say to stir constantly for the first 20 minutes then occasionally for 10 minutes. I didn't do that, but the results were still very uniform. After I removed the first pair, I added another packet of navy blue and 1/2 packet of black and did the same for the third pair. I was worried that adding more dye to the existing dye not absorbed in the first pair of jeans would cause the second and third pair to be way darker, but that was not the case. For the fourth pair, I added nothing and the jeans came out very slightly lighter than the first three pairs. The fourth pair was also lined with flannel and weighed more.Consecutively, I dyed five faded black shirts (2.5 lbs). I used a bottle of liquid black combined with a 1/2 packet of black and dyed all five shirts at the same time with great results. The bottle of liquid is good for 2 lbs. of fabric.I find after reading others’ reviews that it’s important to keep the temperature of the solution to at least 140 degrees. I achieved that with my sous vide cooker in between pairs (immersed heating element with a circulator). Other methods I suggest would be a 4-5 gallon stock pot and a thermometer, or topping off with boiling water (which will dilute the salt and the dye, so may need to add more).After everything was dyed, I hung everything up outside for about 1/2 hour, then plunged the jeans then the shirts each into a 6 gallon bucket of clean water and rang them out. I then ran the jeans then shirts separately in a short cold water washing machine cycle and hung everything to dry. After wearing, I plan to put both the shirts and the jeans into their own laundry pile together and wash them all again by themselves to ensure the color has set.I forgot to add a squirt of dishwashing soap to the dye solution as Rit suggests. I imagine that would have further ensured penetration into the fabric by reducing the surface tension of the solution.Use rubber gloves. I did and I found out that one finger had a very small hole in it because that finger is now blue. I figured the two plastic buckets I used would be forever stained blue, but they weren’t.I’ll update in the future to report on how everything holds up to washing and wear.All in all, this represents over $300 of clothing when new, feels pretty good to be able to restore everything for about $15 worth of dye/salt and two hours of time (even less because I did other stuff while soaking and ignoring the 20 minute agitation)!
5.0 out of 5 stars My Fault
This would have come out darker but it was my first go at dyeing & after boiling the water with a cup of salt , then after boiling I then add the dye before adding to a nice sized plastic bucket / drawer I got from Walmart some time ago I was concerned there would not be enough water to cover it so I added additional water to the dyed water from the pot on the stove. I do not recommend the washing machine bc you don’t have the control like you do dying it in the bucket not to mention it’s up to the individual as to how long you want to keep it in there & stirring once in awhile. I am going to post other colors I did as well & the colors came out very rich . —-Also , before dying the fabric I made sure to wash & dry it & then when I was ready to die the fabric I wet each thoroughly with hot water , rung them out and THEN I added the dyed water . Couldn’t be happier !! —-I also must mention the fabric that looks brown? I am confused about even though I do like the color but it was suppose to be GREY! The second lighter brown ( again that was suppose to be grey ) was from the same dyed water that was left over and that’s why it’s so much lighter .—-SUPER EASY TO USE & absolutely worth $$ spent when comparing how I plan to use my dyed fabrics . So far I’ve used 6 different colors . I even died some white lace LOLOL. I’m on a roll cuz I’m so in love with the Richness of the colors . - Coral , grays , blues

Worked just fine.
4.0 out of 5 stars Struggled a bit, but I think it was my fault
I tried using this rit concentrated dye to dye Nylon-12 3D printed parts. I followed the directions for mixing the powder with water (I actually exceeded the concentration by quite a bit because I wanted a fairly dark stain). The directions specify a somewhat narrow temperature range for making the dye work, so I would boil water then let it cool to the desired 180 F and then add the parts and stir. I did this multiple times, but couldn't get the dye to penetrate the nylon-12. It just looked like barely stained white nylon-12. A few weeks later I ended up buying the liquid dye and just boiled the parts in with the dye. The high temperature was the key, and they ended up being dyed really well. I think this powdered dye would work well, but it's a bit more complicated to mix especially if mixing various dyes to make a different color. The liquid dyes were quite a bit easier, but then the cost is higher so it's a trade-off. Overall, I would recommend this product, but it's critical to use a high temperature when staining. Also, I was afraid to use a stainless steel pot thinking it would permanently stain it, but the pot was easily cleaned after and appeared good as new.

If you also buy the fixative solution with this and you're dyeing naturals like cotton, wool or linen it works very well. If you want to do synthetic material you will need the product for that. Small side note: If you have a 45/55 cotton/polyester item and you want a color that is not offered for that material like black you are not going to find a solution. It's due to the polyester in some varieties does not take dye well. For the colors they offer for that mix they do work UT you need lots of heat for more time. OK, so I use stove top for all dyeing in a stainless steel 3 gal + pot and not for cooking! Know your item will be darker coming out of pot than expected for the final result. I add fixative when dyeing time is done and continue till finished with that process gently wring then hang outside to dye. Then I wash to see the finished color shade. Very durable If done in this matter and with the proper dye type. Wear old clothing if you are not careful.

Quantité insuffisante - mauvais rapport qualié, quantité / prix
Utilisé pour teindre un plaid en laine, il a juste parsemé la couverture de taches...
Todo roto disperso y el polvo que quedaba en el aire manchó la ropa que llevaba puesta
No lo remiendo, se me estropeó la ropa que llevaba puesta porque al abrir el paquete que no sabía que venía roto, el polvo es muy fino y se dispersó quedándose pegado en la sudadera blanca que llevaba, todo un desastre el empaquetado para un producto así
