Jacquard Acid Dye Starter Set

I used it to dye old hair extension feathers. The pigment is excellent, just a tiny amount was enough. Easy to use, no mess.

I am a wool snob and have been for 65+ yrs. other fibers dont please me. The smell of wet wool is one of my favorites. Natural dyeing began the odyssey, but the color range is limited and mordants are, well - dangerous. Acid dyes for wool are magnificent and Jacquard are tried and true. Predictable. Repeatable. Luscious colors. Nuff said.

Perfect for my yarn

The pictures show Hot Fuchia but it comes with Fire Red. Not the same thing. The product itself is great I will continue to use the dyes, but I want the colors shown, not whatever.

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.

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.

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.
