Purpose Liquid Dye 236ml, Fuchsia

It has been about 50 years since I last used a Rit dye. The liquid form (which I don't think existed in the 70s) is much easier to use than the powder. I had to increase the temperature of my hot water heater several times to produce water that approached the recommended 140 degrees F. The garment I dyed started out white. Now it is a rich "mustard green". This is not exactly the color I wanted but I mixed a couple of dye colors and not having read the directions thoroughly, the garment remained in the dye bath longer than it needed to. The result was darker than expected, but the color is even and saturated. Note the "before & after" photo.

Beautiful color on a 100% cotton very drab Muslin blanket. Saved the day!

Never been disappointed with Rit dye.

I knit a sweater with some leftover cotton yarn and didn’t like the color so I tried dying it. Overall the color came out nicely, it’s definitely more heathered/marled on a hand knit. Rather than solid color. I did use the color stay after.

Used this to dye a duvet cover. It dyed unevenly and splotchy. Color faded considerably with first wash. Not saying it couldn’t have been user error but I followed instructions.

I used this color and a second color to dye in my front-loading washer. I used the YouTube directions for front loaders. I used the salt and boiling water. I just carried my electric kettle to the laundry room and plugged it in there. It was simple to boil water to dissolve the salt and to add extra water to the washer through the detergent dispenser to make sure that the salt and the dye had enough water in my water-saving machine to dye evenly. I used the long cycle to give it lots of time. Then I washed the dyed clothes, took them out to dry them, and wiped the seals (the only place the dye stuck) with a wet rag, washed an empty load in the machine, then washed a dark load. No dye was left to cause any problems. My clothes look great!

This worked well for making military colored undershirts
