Dylon Cold Dye?

Has anybody ever used this product? I got a dozen different colors for $1 at a garage sale. They're still wrapped in plastic. I'd love to hear if anybody has experience with these.

We have them over hear. They will probably be a cold water dye,although they do make ones that you put through the washing machine with salt. and they do hold the colour as well as most!

I have used the Dylon Cold Dye, you do and I mean do need the fix that works with the dylon dye. With out the fix, sure your fabric will be colored only up until you start to rinse the fabric. Other then that, the colors are really good, probably not as good as what you can get from Dharma trading Co. but for starting out its a great way to experiment with. Play with the water amounts that come with the instructions. less water more intense dye color, more water and more fabric, a more watery effect on the fabric. Also the dylon cold water dyes are only for natural fabric, e.g., cotton, wool, silk. It will work on poly cotton, but not as well as the natural fabric. ok that is the end of my demo of dylon cold water... how can you tell that I used to work for a craft store, and no it wasn't Michael's or that other one,( I think I am glad that I have never seen one of those either from what I have been reading about it.) But I sure do miss working in the fabric store. Currently working on a quilt kit,,, the Wheel of mystery.. who knew that working with curves could be so much fun and aggravation..

Dharma used to carry them. The Dylon black was what they recomended when you needed to dye a fabric that contained both protien and cellulose black. I never got to try it because their supplier gave out about the time I was able to afford my first order of velvet.
