Jacquard Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dye Kit - Perfect for Natural Fabrics

NananaNanana: Bien mieux que d'autres teintures bon marché pour du tie'n'dye. Par contre le jaune et le bleu résistent moins au lavage que les autres couleurs, il vaut mieux les concentrer plus dans les mélanges.

ChrisB8811: On synthetic fabric, the colours faded quite a bit when rinsed. Y
ou'll need to add 1tsp dish detergent and simmer at 93°C for an hour.

KimKim: I liked that this dye came with soda ash. It helps to achieve brighter colors, and said in binding of dye to fabric. First photo is a large tapestry. Not a long presoak in the soda ash. Shirt soaked for 30 minutes and produced more brilliant color. Not much of a tutorial about tie dye technique, but easy enough to research basic fold patterns. Brilliant colors with tons of variations of color, they give you a mixing chart to create colors. You could easily use this at a party to create dozens of shirts. I use water bottles with a hole drilled in the cap to squirt the dye on fabric. Squirt bottles and wooden sticks to pull fabric apart while dyeing are a good idea. So are gloves, especially during rinsing process.

Amazon Customer: Used this product to dye some shirts and hoodies. Followed the package instructions, let the dyed clothing sit and absorb for about 20 hours, and washed - everything turned out beautifully. Colours are bold and strong, and haven't faded or bled after multiple washes.

Only cons were the package arrived pretty banged up and with some minor spillage from the soda ash. That and following the colour mixing instructions made wayyy more dye than I needed and used up all my blue prematurely. Next time I'll definitely just eyeball the colour mixing.

AnneAnne: I bought this kit to dye a few white t-shirts that I've been using as undershirts for the last few years. The t-shirts had perspiration stains under the arms, but I love the fabric and fit so much that I wanted to see if I could rescue them. Now, all the dyeing websites will tell you not to work on old, stained clothing. That is probably prudent advice, as I'll discuss later! I was willing to take the risk, especially as practice learning how to dye in case I decide on a larger project down the road.

What I love about this set is that it contains the printer's primaries -- cyan, magenta, and yellow, plus black -- so that you can mix your own colors. With just three shirts to dye, I could have bought three premixed colors instead of four primaries. But I find that a bit limiting, and wanted to have fun mixing my own. This kit also includes enough soda ash to do about 5-6 dye baths (bucket method), but if you run out, Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda is 100% soda ash and readily available for a few bucks at the grocery store or drugstore.

I dyed my shirts using the immersion method in a 5-gallon bucket (actually, mine was a 4-gallon kitty litter bucket). You can do...

Cecilia Sullivan: I used this kit for the first time today. I wanted to create a custom shade of green for a quilting project I'm presently working on. The dye powder mixes very readily with water (you need to create a sort of liquid concentrate in a cup, and then mix that into your dye bath). You will not find any detailed information in the packaging, but Jacquard has a lot of information on their web site for how-to and color mixing. I suggest getting the needed info and printing it out for a ready reference.
The fabric I dyed is 100% cotton; the color is vibrant, and though I used a large stockpot for the dye bath, it was not necessary to put it on the stove. The color set beautifully in moderately hot tap water.
I did notice that the turquoise seems to be more intense than the yellow, so I used only a tiny amount to create a spring green. A touch of black was added to make it a slightly darker shade. I will probably find myself buying more of the yellow dye separately, as most of my dye projects use colors which contains yellow. I'll likely buy the soda ash in a larger package for future jobs as well.
This is a great starter package for becoming familiar with reactive dye. I wanted to...

JandJSoup: This dye was fairly effective for dyeing a thick white Egyptian cotton sheet that I had sewn into a dress for my daughter. It was pretty easy to use (I just grabbed a 5 gallon bucket, lined it with a kitchen trash bag, and followed the dyeing instructions). The color came out nice and vivid, and did not seem to fade when I washed the dress a couple of times after dyeing. The only issue I had was that the color did not apply evenly to the whole dress despite two separate rounds of the dyeing process (which used up en entire jar of dye), though that may be due to the fact that I was using repurposed fabric.
