JacquardAcid Dye Starter Set

You can make any color with this set. The cheat sheet is helpful. White vinegar is required to set the dye and easily found in a grocery store.

Love the product. Beautiful colors. Just wish it had better instructions.

Terrific value here at Amazon, with a mordant thrown in! Remember that acid dyes can be used with the mordant provided, or with simple household white vinegar. The acid is not in the dye, it's all about the mordants. A nice set if you're jumping into dyeing and don't want to invest too much at the start. Remember that your primary colors will be enough to get secondary colors, but to get shades (black or grey added to the hue) or tints (adding white to the hue) you need to expand your dye supply to include those blending colors.

So much in such a little package. Everything you need to start dyeing something. I dyed some yarn and it’s beautiful.

I almost gave it 3 stars because the colors seem to break and at times, especially when mixing. I can't seem to get good coverage on all batches. However, I gave it a 4 because I need to dye more wool and do a few things differently next time to see if it was user error to be fair. I didn't give 5 stars because there are no instructions included with the set and you have to go online to get them. They also aren't the greatest of instructions. On a good note, the colors when they strike properly are as they should be. If I were starting out dying, I wouldn't be afraid to purchase this set.

I used it to dye old hair extension feathers. The pigment is excellent, just a tiny amount was enough. Easy to use, no mess.

Jacquard is great quality, but I received the package with the yellow open and spilling out (see photo). I’m disappointed to have less yellow than I ordered & a mess to clean up.

I was not aware that that "protein" items (wool, etc) needed to be dyed with "acid" dye. I had curly wool locks that were natural white and wanted black. I used FAR less powder dye than recommended on the instructions/Jacquard website and still the wool did not absorb all of it so I have it in a jar to use again! Excellent deep color.
