Deco Art Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dyes, Cobalt Blue

Beautiful! 2tsp per 8oz makes a brilliant color.

I used it on a bedspread so it was heavy

It’s the best to

Just realized how VERY overpriced this brand is.

I love how pigmented the dye is. I just hate how small the container is.

Works great! Arrived on time!

We used this dye on cushion covers for a set of wicker furniture that sits in our patio room. My husband wore gloves while dyeing, and he still had blue hands for four days. The color covered well in the beginning and looked quite nice. It hasnt come off of any other fabrics (like when you sit on it). However, after about six months, the color has faded drastically to a very light blue, without any washing or exposure to water. I wouldnt recommend it for anything that sits anywhere near any light.

Only reason I knocked it down a star is that it barely held 1.5 tablespoons of powder. Now there is a blurb about ‘filled by weight. Powder density. Yada yada’ but when your instructions say 1-4 tablespoons, shouldn’t you have at least 4 tbsp in the jar??

The internet suggested that I could try using this to dye wool and cashmere, and since I dont want to use a hot water dye and shrink my garments I thought Id give it a try. I either used too little dye or the water could have been less cold, but the the effect was small. I started with a grayish cream that turned a nice shade of light grayish blue after hours of soaking in the cobalt dye. I liked the outcome but if anyone has tips on how to get a more intense color without shrinking cashmere, please let me know!

Not nearly as messy as the Rite dye I have used in the past, didnt stain my stainless steel sink so clean up was much easier. Nice cobalt blue color and since I stirred the twin bedspread frequently, the color was even. I did use soda ash as the instructions indicated which I purchased separately. Quite a bit more expensive than the rite dye, particularly after the addition purchase of the soda ash, but I thought Id give it a try since the rite dye ALWAYS fades Ive washed the bedspread and it didnt fade at all. No color bleed at all onto the old white towel I put in as a test!
