Jacquard Acid Dye Starter Set

Perfect for my yarn

I was not aware that that protein items (wool, etc) needed to be dyed with acid dye. I had curly wool locks that were natural white and wanted black. I used FAR less powder dye than recommended on the instructions/Jacquard website and still the wool did not absorb all of it so I have it in a jar to use again! Excellent deep color.

Great Purchase

I used these for dying deer hair for tying buck tail jigs. It did a good job. It was my first time doing it, so I cant blame any color issues on the dyes. However, you do not need all colors equally- you need a lot of yellow and very little of some other colors. But this pack will get you started.

love them, works great

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.

Not sure if the individual containers should have been sealed, but none of mine were. They opened very easily with NO seals. Containers were less than half filled and black had the least amount of powder.
