Jacquard Acid Dye Starter Set

love them, works great

Weve been having a lot of fun using these on yarn. We really like the resulting strong colors.

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

I have made a color gradiation of 66 hues from yellow thru blue to red using GreenerShades dye with silk. I tried to repeat in wool with this Jacquard kit. I was skeptical since the blue color name was turquoise, but Jacquard lists it on its website as a primary. Knowing that dyes dont necessarily color true, I took a chance. The 11 shades of yellow through blue made a gorgeous array of greens and turquoise. I should have known that turquoise had enough yellow in it that, when mixed dropwise with red, would make a lovely array of browns. I now have a beautiful afghan in those well-known rainbow colors of red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise and brown.

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.

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.

3 stars for this particular pack of dyes (the dyes themselves are excellent) I suppose the seller can get around this issue by the fact that they dont list the specific jar colors in the description, but as other customers have noted, the Hot Fuchsia which is shown in the product images is not what you get - you receive Fire Red which does not produce the same colors as shown on the included color wheel. If you will receive either/or, that should be clearly disclosed.

Great Purchase

Perfect for my yarn

Good set for making colors. Needs better instructions. DIY videos help
