## Description

This Basic Dye set is bright, beautiful and easy-to-use, perfect for hard-to-dye fabrics.

Review: These were purchased to make alcohol inks - I watched a video on Youtube (Myriam's Nature) where Myriam attempted to use these basic dyes to make alcohol inks by dissolving the dyes in isopropyl alcohol. While the dyes were vibrant in alcohol, when applied to a surface and after the alcohol evaporated, the dye returned to a much duller color. However, the trick is to use Claro Extender (or another alcohol colorless blender that contains some binders) from Jacquard to disperse the dye, and the vibrancy of the dissolved dye is retained. All in all, a successful experiment and now I have enough dye make gallons of alcohol inks to play with of any color. This set contains primary colors (red, blue, yellow), secondary colors (orange, green, purple) and brown and black, very versatile for color customization.
Review: This is not a fabric dye - For the people saying it didn’t work on their cotton shirts, and it washed out. This is not a fabric dye. This is a synthetic and a wood dye. Jacquard makes a top quality fabric dye for tye dying shirts… please use that.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on merino wool?**
A: I’m using it on cotton it fades a lot I expect same
would be true for wool.   I love the set am having fun playing with the colors the fading is good with me.   Color quality is fantastic.

**Q: How permanent is the finished look on shirts?**
A: On a silk or acrylic garment this is a very permanent dye, but on cotton it tends to bleed.  This dye will work on cotton, but if you want a permanent dye for your standard t-shirt, procion MX is the dye to use.  Basic dyes are for leather, acrylic, wood and silk.

**Q: How much is in each bottle?**
A: It's about 1/2 oz ~14 grams.  basic dyes are stronger than other dyes.  2-3% weight of the fabric gives you a deep color on acrylic or silk.  One bottle is enough to dye 2 lbs deeply and probably 10lb a lighter version of the color.

**Q: Does this dye require any additional products to work on leather?**
A: There are 2 ways to use this dye.  You can mix with water and add a little vinegar or, you can mix it with either isopropyl or ethyl alcohol.  Ethanol works better than isopropyl in the sense that the dyes are more soluble in ethanol, so you can get a darker color.  For leather I do recommend wiping it down with basic dye in ethanol because then you don't have to even get the leather wet with water at all.  If you have a harder leather, it is not a big deal, but for soft leathers and suede, it seems better to use alcohol to preserve the shape better.  So, yes having an alcohol or white vinegar is good to have for use with this dye.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is not a fabric dye
*by S***N on September 4, 2023*

For the people saying it didn’t work on their cotton shirts, and it washed out. This is not a fabric dye. This is a synthetic and a wood dye. Jacquard makes a top quality fabric dye for tye dying shirts… please use that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great wood dye just hoped for more in each container.
*by C***9 on December 28, 2020*

I used the dye to dye wood spice racks for toy figures for a child’s room. Theses dyes were very vibrant! Exactly what I was hoping for. I wish they came with little plastic spoons. Was also dissatisfied with the amount of powder in each container but it was enough for my project. I didn’t use the brown. The dye did the job VERY quickly!
