DYLON Hand Dye, Powder, Velvet Black

I don't have a picture of before unfortunately, but the shoes were kind of washed out purple, i followed the instructions, but i used 2 packs for same quantity of water, i used Vaseline for the sole, i kept them soaked for roughly an hour, i noticed the blue stitches didn't change color its good thing for me but i don't know if it's because of the color or maybe they're made from a different materialI'm really happy with the result.I just need to wait and see how it will hold, if there is any change i’ll try to update

Easy to use

The product is exactly what I needed & was reasonably priced. The dye covered the fabric well, although I bought the dye to refresh the colour rather than change it.The Quilted Bear company provided outstanding customer service after initially sending a incorrect colour dye. They responded quickly to my enquiry & professionally. They arranged for the correct product to be sent quickly. Happy with the product, more impressed with the customer service!

I needed to dye two small items - a t-shirt and thin cotton trousers. Instructions say to use 400ml of water, which might be enough to cover a pair of socks but not much else! You have to leave things covered and soaking for one hour, stirring every so often. So, I added enough water to cover both items and swooshed as required, ending up with very dark navy. My items were less than a pair of adult jeans in volume.I did add table salt to facilitate the dyeing process. I wasn't amazed at the colour intensity but acknowledge I used more water than I was meant to - but frankly, you'll have to. Save money and buy a much bigger packet.

Works perfectly.Used it to dye some fading black jeans, put the jeans into a bowl of hot water, then added the separately mixed combination of water and dye. Stirred it every 5 minutes for about half an hour, then stirred it again every 3 hours I'd say for the rest of the day. Left it overnight, got them out in the morning and they are jet black. Anyone saying that it doesn't work has clearly done it wrong - it's dye, just leave it in at the right strength and it works.

Dye was not very effective -

I used this to fix clothes that I had marked with bleach accidentally, did a perfect job.

So I ordered this without reading that it's the hand-wash version, happily opened it & emptied the contents into the washing machine with 2 pairs of black jeans.Whilst they ended up blacker they were different to usual and this was a little odd. I then realised that I should've gone to Specsavers....
