All-Purpose Liquid Dye

I wanted a sweatshirt in a light turquoise and none in that color were available anywhere. I decided to take a try at fabric dying. It turned out to be pretty easy. A bit messy but the end result was worth it. The bottle of Rit, when mixed with water, made enough that I also did a couple of white towels and washcloths. Preparing by having the area where you'll be working is really important. This is permanent color so splatter and spills are to be avoided.. Also, have something you can use for stirring the garment into the dye that won't absorb color. The longer it sits in the dye the deeper the color, but will dry lighter than it looks wet. Overall this was a fun project and I will do it again. I found out you can mix colors too but that will have to wait for another time.

This worked perfect for what I needed it for. It didn't turn the color I was expecting, but that was because the type of fabric it was. I also used this on a linen skirt and it came out the purple/lilac color that's on the bottle. The dress pictured was also purchased from Amazon and it came out more of a pink color rather than a purple color.

Rit dyes have come a long way since the old days. The liquid dyes are easy to use and the colors are rich and juicy! I decided to customize some inexpensive white kitchen linens (potholders, towels) to go with my fruit-colored kitchen and table. I'm pleased with how they turned out and how cheery and vivid the colors are.

Overall it’s a good product, I’m not sure about the color accuracy though…maybe there’s a trick to make it darker I don’t know about. I used a whole bottle of this stuff (in Cocoa Brown) on a white Levi’s jumpsuit (100% cotton) and a cotton shirt. During the dying process, it was a deep warm, reddish brown and absolutely gorgeous, stirred it for about 12 minutes. I used the Color Stay product afterwards. Followed instructions to a t for both the dye and the color stay, yet it still turned out more of a dark pink / light maroon after washing. I still like it, but it’s definitely not deep brown.

Rit dye is great! Fabrics take the dye differently, but it is always interesting to see how it comes out. Bought this to dye a pair of nice linen pants. They were white with tan palm foliage on them, but got washed with something pink so they looked awful. We bleached the pink out, but then the tan foliage turned yellow. Tan rit dye solved the problem. Now the pants are completely tan which works with more shirts than the two colors did. It came out a little darker than I expected, but it looks great! Saved a great pair of pants. I highly recommend it!

Perfect for cotton material . But doesn’t work on georgette, silk , other kind of material

Was nervous about if it would come out the exact color i wanted. It came out perfect!

Thank you wasn’t available in the stores.
