Jacquard Procion Mx Dye - Undisputed King of Tie Dye Powder - Marine Violet - 2/3 Oz - Cold Water Fiber Reactive Dye Made in USA

Very light blue, sometimes fades a lot after rinsing fabric even pre soaked soda ash shirts, easy to use, could have more product for the price of one. Easy to use just add water. Most of my buyers love this color it’s a top fav

My 100% cotton, lightest blue, duvet cover turned out gorgeous. It's now dark indigo (it's a bit bluer and darker than these phone pics with flash.) I had a half bottle of black liquid RIT dye sitting around so I added it to the mix, with this navy blue powder, because I wanted to make sure it came out dark enough. I thought it was going to come out dark ashy blue but I guess the RIT has some red in it. I did see red specks rinsing down the sides of my mixing bucket during prep so I'm not sure if it was from this powder or the liquid RIT. I'm OK with that because it's the original color I wanted. I just decided to go dark blue because I figured I'd have to buy 2 or 3 colors to get this beautiful dark indigo.It had yellowed from sweat, and it even had blood stains from old injuries on it. I used peroxide and ammonia and Persil, in cold water to lighten those. Then I washed it in hot water, with a bunch of Borax, soda Ash, 1 cup of salt (good for blood and protein,) and more Persil. That, surprisingly, got the old blood stains to fade the most, and the yellowed skin residue was almost unnoticeable -- should have done it a long time ago. I left the cover wet and started on my bucket mix.For a 4lb, king size cover, in my top-loading HE washer, it took 14 gallons of water, 8lbs of pickling salt, 18Tbs of this dye powder, and 1 1/2 cups of soda ash. (Technically, I ran out of soda ash so I added 1 cup of Borax and 1/2 cup of backing soda to 1 cup of soda ash, in a bowl of hot water. After stirring a lot, I strained that mix into the washing machine so the undesolved Borax wouldn't make my cover spotty, JIK.) I was religious about rearranging the cover every 5 minutes. I live at 5800 feet altitude so I added 10 minutes to the first, non-soda, stage, and 25 minutes to the soda-ash stage, so that's 25 minutes, then 1 hour and 25 minutes soaking time. Then I plugged the washer back in, let it fill up on a deep water, warm, cycle and let it run. It agitated the diluted mix for 45 minutes, then rinsed it twice. I then ran it through another almost-hot deep-water wash-and-double rinse cycle -- just water. (The rinses are always with cold water. This nicely allowed me to alternate hot and cold rinses.) I then added 14tsp of Jaquard color fixative to a single rinse & spin, deep-water, cycle. Finally, I washed the cover normally, in tap-cold water, with a bunch of other black clothes and some detergent, then dried it on low. Voila!I'm shocked at how even it came out, mainly because the unplugged washer seemed to be draining ever so slowly, to where I felt I needed more swishing room during the last 45 minutes. Instead of swishing I had to pick the cover up and dunk it again, which produced a lot of large bubbles. It was impoosible to keep it immersed over time (I even put heavy platic bottles on to.) It would have been easier to double the mix, up to 24 gallons of water, so I could stir and swish it around instead. (FYI, my recipe is already double-strength to ensure dark results.)My husband didn't believe it was the same cover. It's his favorite thing in the house, because it's soft and cool for sleeping, so I presented it to him with me wrapped under it. 😀My only other side note is don't do this before an interview or formal occasion. My hands look like a car mechanic's even though I wore long gloves and washed them every 5 minutes. In fact car grease is easier to was off. Keep rags handy for splatters, and remember to check your face and neck after each swishing. My wasing machine came out clean as a whistle though. A mild bleach cycle could be run through it if you want to be absolutely sure it's clean.

I had a huge wool rug 20 ft x 18 ft thick like new for next to nothing because it was bright Orange and white oriental pastel with lPastel flowers soooo 1990 🥴. I decided to dye it but the regular dye was not taking well. I bought jacquard procion mx dye in bronze and what a fabulous product vibrant and better than I hoped.

I attempted to dye my light blue jean overalls black. I followed the instructions on the bottle to a"T". When I first pulled the overalls out, they were only a darker blue and not black so I thought maybe it needed more dye so I used the rest of what was in the bottle and repeated the process. Unfortunately after washing the overalls, all of the color washed away and did not stick at all. Not sure what happened but unfortunately I had no luck with this product.

I've been tie dying as a side hustle since 2020. It was a bit of a trial by fire if I do say so myself. Started out using rit Dye - rookie mistake - and eventually moved on to tulip dye - rookie mistake number two - and I finally started using a combination of Procion MX and Dharma trading company dyes. To give you an example of the results, the first picture is a combination of dharma's deep purple and the procion MX brilliant orange. I feel both are aptly named. The shirt on the right is a combination of one of my custom colors and the procion MX magenta dye. I would say 95% of the procion colors offered in the starter kit are pretty decent. I've tried most of them in my tie dyes and the only three I can't fully recommend are the ice blue (it's hard to figure out the right ratio of dye powder to water. Sucks for ice dying or immersion dying. Almost all of the blue washes out and it leaves pink and purple speckles.) And the jet black. More often than not I've had issues and I feel if anything this particular color needs to be reformulated especially since it is a base color in the $150 kit of 8 oz jars. If I'm going to be spending that much on dye powder, I'd better not have issues with any of them. But when it comes down to the jet black, I have to use triple the amount for it to come out the promised color and hope it doesn't fade while drying. It is quite literally the only color that does this. If you need to get a decent black, go to Dharma trading company and order their raven black dye. Lastly, the bubblegum pink. When used as a liquid dye, it dries far too light. When used as an ice dye, it barely melts and leaves massive Orange speckles on your project. Go for the hot pink instead and if you're trying to go for a lighter shade, use half of what you would normally use. Trust me on this. It's a far better option.Other than avoiding the ice blue and the jet black, you should be pretty pleased with your other options.

Used this product to ice dye a muslin blanket.Looks great!

I dyed my love seat covers, just the colour I was wanting, hard to do by handWill purchase again

Always use cold water to make the dye. It’s beautiful. I also like to leave my dyes and come back another time. All this great product needs is a few shakes and ready to go as it was when I made it.

I wear only black and only natural fibres. Re-dying my clothes is a must for their longevity. This product did wonderfully when paired with the suggested fixer! Did have a hard time diying vintage white lace. The lace never came out true black. Even after two diyings. But because it’s fibre content is not known to me. I can’t expect perfect results with this product.I will buy this again and continue to use it on all my natural fibre clothing!Also this product is usually sold in tiny jars for way more! I bought one of said jars to compare results. This bulk product works exactly the same. Unless you only need to dye one small item, once. I would suggest this bulk option to you!!!!

Great for tie-dye , nice deep colour.

I found this dye to be fairly easy to use and produced a great colour. It is lasting well after a couple of washes.
