Dylon Permanent Fabric Dye, 1.75-Ounce, China Blue

I didn’t entirely follow the directions as the color I choose was already pretty pale. I used less water, dried the panels and then rinsed them. This tiny packet dyed 3 really thin cotton panels. Probably wouldn’t dyed larger weight than specified on the instructions but I’ve always used dylon and this pale blue wasn’t difficult to use. Came out a pretty pale color similar to bleached denim

I’ve only used this one time, but wow!!! Really made my navy blue doll’s coat blue! Beautiful color. I used stove top method and I think that helped too. No streaks! Not one! Just perfect blue color on cotton fabric. I also dyed a felt coat too. The very hot water caused a bit of shrinking, but it’s a lovely color blue!!!

Received this item yesterday at around 3:45pm it arrived in the mail.. I followed the instructions step-by-step on the back, and it was fairly easy to follow, and also execute, although somewhat laboring:-P.. I picked this color as it was as close to the color as I could find online, and also because of the price.. and although it doesn't directly indicate anywhere on the package how much fabric it can treat, or how much gallons or liters you should use it in?(I mean as a guideline to achieve maximum effectiveness, and to more closely reach the exact color as is indicated)..However it 'does say' in the tips on the bottom; that it treats 1/2 pound of fabric, or otherwise a large shirt. Which gives you somewhat of an idea of what concentration or kind/size of pan or container to treat your fabric of your choice in. I personally was attempting to (unknowingly) dye a 100% cotton white fitted sheet, and also the 100% cotton white top sheet to go with it, in a bin of about 8 gallons of water, and about 6 TBSP of salt, and I ended up with a very faint pale blue(which will have to do for now:-)..Therefore- due to my results, and experience; I would only suggest to someone that orders this item, that if you are in fact dying a sheet, or something as large or weighs around the same as a sheet, you should probably order 2 of the same color to get the color you desire, or even 3 to be on the safe side, then accordingly of course just double the indicated amount of ingredients in the instructions. Also, I would like to mention you can sort of gauge how dark the fabric is going to be after about 15 minutes into the dye treatment. But to be sure it is dyed through-out, keep periodically mixing it.

I gave this product five stars because it probably would have worked had I used it on cotton material. That being said I definitely should have actually READ some of the comments instead of just looking at how many star it received. The material I wanted to color was unfortunately 100% polyester so of course it didn’t work. My fault entirely. I will test this product out on something else and then we shall see how it goes.

China blue was not a great choice. On a scale of 1-10, color deposit was about a 1. Going to have to re-dye cotton dish towels with a darker shade now.

I found this dye was easy to use much better consistent color than major competitors! Great color choices ! Very happy with my purchase.

I inadvertently bleached my blue sweater and ruined it. This brand saved my sweater, and it was the exact color I was looking for. It works much better than a well known retail brand.

This shade is a very light blue, not neon or anything, but a soft toned down blue. I used in tie dying, I used this shade on extra fabric that wasn't "tied", it blended well because it's a soft shade. Would buy again and maybe dye an entire garment this colour.

Vintage blue is a lovely pale blue, I have used other colours too & they are a true to the shade on the packet on cotton fabrics maybe slightly paler on non cotton,easy to follow instructions, pleased with the result.

Great results using this dye easy to follow instructions and colour true to shown.

Was not the light blue colour, I tried diluting the colour but no matter what is was more of a true blue/royal blue than the light shade on the package.

I bought it to dye wool, and it didn't dye at all. That's a deception.
