Rit DyeMore Liquid Dye, Apricot Orange 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

I have used Rit dye for years with great end results. Not with this one! I think the product was old. I did my usual thing...shake, dilute, soak. The dye obviously didn’t disperse well. My project took on a tie dye effect :(

I started with black and white striped tights. I was wanting to dye them black and brown for my Steampunk costume for an upcoming local Steampunk festival. First, I bought the chocolate brown dye, but as you can see in the first picture, it dyed them grey. So, i then bought the apricot orange dye and dyed the tights again. And finally got the brown color I wanted.

Im pretty sure I received a used bottle, almost half of the dye was gone & the seal was clearly previously opened.

I followed the instructions anddyed white acrylic looking for orange because I couldnt find my yarn in the right color. Its light red. Maybe extremely dark orange at best. I was looking for plain orange and even shortened the dying time to get a light result. Do not recommend.

Wow, we were blown away at how well our faded patio furniture cushion covers turned out, looked brand new. Unfortunately in less than a week they have faded horribly from the sun. Oh well, for $10 and a few hours of time it was worth a try.

I used the dye while following the instructions exactly. It did nothing. I would have gotten the same result if I had put the fabric in water.

It was my first time dyeing any article of clothing so I was pretty nervous that I’d mess it up. I bought a cream acrylic sweater from a thrift store and watched the YouTube videos on how to use the Rit dye. Worked perfectly but definitely use a pot that you won’t cook with again!! The color came out perfect for Vilma’s sweater (I used the whole bottle of dye to ensure a deep orange).

Colored garments a beautiful shade of orange

Best dye for lacrosse heads!!

Worked wonders on a polyester shirt I had after attempting to dye with regular RIT dye. Did not come out as vibrant at I wanted but a second dye will probably get the desired color.
