Jacquard Acid Dye Starter Set

This is a great kit. Citric acid is highly preferable to vinegar in my opinion. Unless you like your kitchen smelling like salad! I needed black dye to make olive drab. I’m glad that I got the set though. Not only did it arrive in time, which is what mattered, the other primaries gave me a finished product far better than had I gone with either just “olive” jacquard dye or even adding the black. Adding a touch of yellow and blue can make all the difference.

It works well. Some reviews said the wrong colors were in but these weee exactly as stated. Just follow instructions!

Why are these dyes for Wool, silk, nylon and feathers. Since when are those fabrics meant to be acid washed. The dyes do not work on cotton, they will not acid wash your jeans.

I used these for dying deer hair for tying buck tail jigs. It did a good job. It was my first time doing it, so I cant blame any color issues on the dyes. However, you do not need all colors equally- you need a lot of yellow and very little of some other colors. But this pack will get you started.

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.

Not sure if the individual containers should have been sealed, but none of mine were. They opened very easily with NO seals. Containers were less than half filled and black had the least amount of powder.

The primary colors are red, blue and yellow. This kit contains sun yellow, hot fuchsia, turquoise and jet black. If the kit had blue and red I could make the other colors. Sending it back and buying a kit from an Etsy store that has what I need for less. Appreciate that it has a small container of citric acid but white vinegar works just as well. Giving it three stars because of misleading the customer on the colors in the kit. Otherwise Jacquard is an excellent product.

The dye arrived without the citric acid which is specifically why I chose this listing.

cant wait to do it

Always the best!
