I'm worried about the stovetop method for my jeans, because they are tight already. There's a store about 30 minutes away that carries the Jacquard Procion DX dyes, so I'm going to try the tub method, which only need warm water rather than hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-732896 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 20:53:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 732896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pastrygirl - just wanted to let you know I couldn't get the Jacquard iDye here so went to my local fabric store and they recommended Dylon to use in the stove top method. Found a great colour for me called Bordeaux so will be picking up a big ol' pot at my local Value Village and cooking me some dark red jeans this weekend!</p> <p>I'll let you know how they turn out and what I think of the Dylon brand. Keep your fingers crossed for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-730609 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 18:14:18 +0000 pastrygirl 730609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't sure if the spandex content would make it have a mottled effect. What color are you thinking of doing? A single one (crimson?) or a blend to get it even darker?</p> <p>Just found this: <a href="http://www.jacquardproducts.com/forums/discussion/5033/dyeing-colored-denim" rel="nofollow">http://www.jacquardproducts.co.....ored-denim</a></p> <p>it says that with low % of spandex, you won't notice if it doesn't take the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-730275 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 13:31:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 730275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what I'm going to use pastrygirl - my jeans are 99% cotton and 1% spandex so I figure it's pretty much all natural fibers. Now I just have to find where I can get it here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-730225 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:05:39 +0000 pastrygirl 730225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the Jacquard iDye, would it be OK to use the one for natural fibers even though there's a bit of spandex? I'm not sure what my label says, but I'm sure it's 1-3% spandex. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-729523 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:43:49 +0000 Anonymous 729523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I have used RIT a lot, and it really is not that great. It doesn't last and it is really hard to keep it even. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-729511 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:33:01 +0000 pastrygirl 729511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I'm going to do this with my bright red jeans, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-729232 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:59:22 +0000 rae 729232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've really liked Jacquard iDye, which is sold at the store Anna linked to. I just dyed a blazer orange using RIT, and I agree that it's pretty crappy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-729226 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:52:38 +0000 annagybe 729226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My organic chemistry TA recommended this company</p> <p><a href="http://www.dharmatrading.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dharmatrading.com/</a></p> <p>He said RIT was crap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dye-ers---what-brand-to-you-recommend#post-729224 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:50:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 729224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So it seems agreed that I need to dye my bright red jeans a darker blood red/burgundy colour (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-red-jeans" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-red-jeans</a>). The fabric content is 99% cotton and 1% spandex.</p> <p>What brand should I go for? And what would you recommend is the best method for the best results?</p> <p>I'm a DIY dye'er newbie! </p>
