Nakoma Rit Liquid Dye,Black 8 oz

Great, perfect no mess good value, I recomend it

First time I've used a Rit Dye and it was brilliant! I usually use the other famous dye, but couldn't get the colour I needed, so decided to try Rit. I wanted a soft Peachy Pink, so mixed some Coral with some Petal Pink and it worked out fine. Not quite as "soft" a shade as I wanted but deffo the right colour. First time using so I'll probably guage the quantities better next time. I used the one for cotton and was dying an 80% Cotton 20% Polyester fabric and it worked perfectly.

A good product for hand dying individual items but a bit of a faff as you need to follow precisely the instructions for the type of fabric you are treating. Used this to dye a hemp white fabric Tilley hat. A comparatively small item but still required a large plastic container to immerse without creases. A large amount of hot water is needed and mixing the dye correctly was lengthy which allowed the water to cool. Used a paint mixing attachment on a drill to speed up process. Useful tip to test the strength of the mix colour is to dip the mix with a piece of kitchen towel. Ended up using a complete bottle to get the desired depth of colour.. Fixing the dye and rinsing requires following the instructions to the letter to get best results. A bit of a faff as no short cuts so allow at least an hour and a half to do the job. Got a great result on my Tilley hat.

It should be 5 stars. It works. My shoes look amazing. The reason I'm not giving five is because there is only one asterisk on the bottom of one of the images that says it won't work on polyester. So maybe thats my fault but honestly I read all the paragraphs below because thats where I assume I'll find all the information I need. So the nylon top layer of my dress is very green. And the pink polyester lining is still very pink. So it's brilliant... just check your fabric and mind the sneaky asterisk in one of the images I didn't see until afterwards.

I purchased this to put the colour back into one in my daughter’s green hoodies from TopShop. It didn’t work. The instructions for the dye are indecipherable and seem to be made for US washing machines. I found a YouTube video that RIT had sponsored which was also fairly useless and just skipped key steps. If you have a stand-alone machine you may achieve better results. However, having a built-under washing machine makes it virtually impossible to pour in almost two litres of boiling water (4 cups water and salt/ four cups of water and dye) without scalding yourself or covering your cupboard doors/ worktop/ washing machine/ floor with dye (in my case fluorescent green). You need to get this water into the top feed tray before the washing machine finishes the flushing of the powder/ liquid. Also once you’re past 40 years old there’s no chance of you reading the instructions on the bottle which may as well have been printed on microfiche. Basically it has ruined my daughter’s hoodie top (which was a faded lime green to start with). The dye is patchy with dark green areas - a total mess and I subsequently had to purchase a new jogging top to replace it. However, please also note that RIT would like you to purchase a dye fixer (another £10). That’s £20 in total, making it fairly uneconomical considering a replacement hoodie is £35 delivered. And wait for it, some garments may need more than one bottle of dye... bargain! My advice would be to save your money and either tie dye when it’s at the end of its life or just buy new.

Easy to use …

Easy to use, worked really well on a pair of faded trousers. I used a bucket to dye then rinsed in the shower- no residue left in the bucket, shower, or washing machine after use!

I tried a different brand previously and was disappointed with the results, as it made no difference whatsoever, this one however worked perfectly and my jeans are black all over once again I'd definitely use again

Good product and easy to use

Great product, easy to use

ممتاز.. غيرت لون نظارة الولد طلبتها بالغلط وردي وقلبت لونها

I bought it to experiment with dyeing process. Took an old jeans (almost white in color) followed the instructions on the bottle and the results are satisfactory. It gave a dark navy blue colour to the pants. Got a very intense Color as I had used the whole bottle. Fabric although hardens (becomes stiffer) after dyeing.

Horrible! Para empezar, el color es azul, no es verde. Y para acabar, no tiñe fibras sintéticas, como sí afirman en el anuncio. Lo quería para teñir unas zapatillas de deporte. Adjunto fotos de lo mal que se han quedado. Deberían indemnizar por las prendas dañadas. Tengo que tirar a la basura estas zapatillas porque están detenidas y ya no me las puedo poner así.
